SVG export dialog problem - non-standard due to no default button

The SVG export dialog still has problems - It has no default button.

Recap of how standard dialogs work:
- Esc clicks the "Cancel" button - close the dialog without performing the action.
- Enter clicks the "Default" button, performing the action.

This behavior ins consistent across the system - for example in a web form, pressing enter in an input field submits the form as well.
In CorelDRAW this is working in every other dialog, except the SVG export dialog.
Automation is not possible since the keyboard stops working when the SVG export dialog appears. Please take a look and correct the behavior so that Enter performs the export.

Therefore, keyboard automation (record a macro in a windows app and then playback) will work as expected:
Ctrl+A - Select all
Ctrl+E - Export (previously perform an export with SVG output file format selected)
Enter - Accept the Save As dialog filename
Enter - Accept the SVG settings and export - THIS IS NOT WORKING

Thank you!
