June 26, 2015: Added support for multi-page form navigation. Thanks @UaMV!
June 23, 2015: Updated to also allow enter on submit buttons. Thanks @UaMV!
I was asked an interesting question on Twitter the other day.
@GravityWiz • Have a snippet or plans for a perk that would prevent submission when users hit the ‘Enter’ key?

@GravityWiz • A few complaints from users who unwittingly try advancing fields w/Enter rather than Tab. Thus, form submits before completed.

It had not occurred to me that some users would attempt to progress through the forms with the “Enter” key rather than tabbing. I think this is one of those cases where it’s hard to remember how new users interact with forms since we’ve been using them so long.
Disabling submission on enter could be quite frustrating for power users so use this with discretion. If you’re form is targeted towards non-technical users, I think you’ll be safe.
