It's customary to trap the Return key and the Enter key to handle 
default buttons:

on returnKey
  -- myStuff
end returnKey

on enterKey
  -- myStuff
end enterKey

on myStuff
  -- do default button behavior
end myStuff

Put these in the card, and they will only trigger if no field text is 
selected. If you want it to trigger even if a field has the focus, then 
also use enterInField. You probably don't want to use returnInField 
though, because that would block carriage returns in the text.
