Add Ctrl+Enter support to submit comment / confirm text / confirm markdown area

Noticed that when adding comment to Feature, wanted to just hit Ctrl+Enter to submit my comment, but had to use mouse and navigate to confirm tick button.

@catrobson can UXD please make a determination on this? And if this response is "yes, we should do this," so we need a plan to find all places where CTRL+ENTER needs to be consistently handled?

[catrobson]

It should actually just be "Enter" when in the textbox area, and Shift+Enter should create a new line. UXD had created an OSIO keyboard shortcuts document a while back that I don't believe we ever tested against. @ldimaggi, comments?

Some of these may need updating as things have changed since this was created.

@catrobson You know that's not how normal input work, right? That's not how this comment box work, not how GitHub descriptions work etc etc..

The normal behavior is:

TextArea(MultiLine): When NewLine is part of the normal input, Enter is newline, and ctrl+enter normally does 'Submit' of the form. This is normal for Descriptions / Comments etc.

Input[text](SingleLine): When NewLine is not allowed or useful, Enter works as 'Submit' of the form. This is normal for Titles, Names etc.. Newlines tend to either be removed in UI or the text just scrolls out side of view.

Input[text](Hybrid): When NewLine 'could' be part of the input, but the input is displayed as a single line, Enter works as 'Submit' and Shift+Enter adds a NewLine. This is normal for single line Comment boxes or Chat input, where 1 line is the norm, but multiline is possible. When newlines are added the single input line grows with the newlines to a certain size.

@aslakknutsen thanks. So let's just say we need to revisit keyboard shortcuts - I didn't check the validity of that document at any point, it was assembled before I was leading. I'll create a UX issue around this.

UXD Issue created for revisiting keyboard shortcuts:
fabric8-ui/fabric8-ux#842

PM is good with the proposed UX change. @joshuawilson is Platform Eng good?

[joshuawilson]

I agree with @aslakknutsen view. I'm good with UX taking on the task to record what keyboard shortcuts we want. (their issue only starts it, it doesn't present anything)

@catrobson I'd suggest that we start with a subset from this list : https://www.ssa.gov/accessibility/keyboard_nav.html

@rsvoboda @aslakknutsen
We have attempted to define many of the keyboard shortcuts here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cATzs0UyUgeZ_cn32LCTQlVHJLsPcfmw3KUTYQN6n-E/edit#gid=2056972779
Please comment on the spreadsheet if you feel the need to swap or change any shortcut before they set out for implementation in Sprint 158
