`Enter` key should be consistent for dialogues/modals?

See original GitHub issue

Hitting enter on some of the dialogues/modals results in an action, while other nothing happens. There should be consistency.

For instance:

hit enter on the Install Command Line Tool... dialogue and the OK is triggered
hit enter after selecting a repo on the Clone Repo modal and the Clone is not triggered
hit enter on git lock dialogue and Close is not triggered
