This can not cause accidental data loss, but it does go against the
association rule, so having it set to 'nothing' might be better. I doubt
this will happen because usability rules tend to be overridden by users who
are used to the old way of doing things.

Tab/Shift+Tab =

It would be nice to be able to enter tabs into text fields in browsers, yes.
The tab button does not have an association problem however, since it has
long been associated with navigation as ell as text entry.

, Return/Enter = "submit form", etc. then?


The current behaviour differs between <textarea> and <input>. In a
<textarea> the 'enter' key will add a newline, but in an <input> it will
'submit' the form. This can be quite confusing since both <textarea> and
<input type='text'> look very similar graphically.

Perhaps a better shortcut would be 'next-form-field' or 'move focus to the
submit button without clicking it', so hitting enter twice would provide the
old behaviour, but prevent the form from being submitted prematurely.
