(https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/WindowDialogs.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000957-CH43-SW5):
"Don’t use a default button if you use the Return key in the dialog’s

Since the consensus here is that the return key activates a button, the
default-button-dialog pattern is likely off the table.
