I don't know if this is what you have in mind but you can catch the 
'Enter' key press in a text input and substitute your own behavior using 
javascript.  Here is how I do it using jQuery:

(function ($) {
     $.fn.catchEnter = function () {
         $('#search').keydown(function (e) {
             if (e.keyCode == 13) {
                 e.preventDefault();
                 $('#searchButton').click();
             }
         });
     };
})(jQuery);

so when the cursor is in the #search textInput if the user presses 
'Enter' the page refresh action is blocked and the search button's click 
event is triggered.
