If it's really true that the ENTER key doesn't work in an mvc SelectorBrowser on your machine, this may be a platform-dependent problem revolving around interpretation of the Enter key. On the Mac, at least, ENTER works equivalently in mvc and morphic text panes, serving as a synoynm for "accept" in both cases.
FYI only: PC keyboards usually have both a <return> key for your right pinky and an <enter> key on the numeric keypad way off to the right. On many PCs (including mine) the <return> key and <enter> key are both labeled "Enter". When running X window (e.g. Linux) the distinction between the two keys is preserved; one generates X events for "Return" and the other for "KP_Enter" (this is all going through several layers of confusing mapping, but you get the idea). Windows would also have access to the two distinct keys, I presume.
PC keyboards and labeling are very inconsistent (and I'm just talking about the U.S. keyboards!), so a lot of application software just treats the two keys as if they were the the same. My Linux Squeak system seems to be set up this way.
