And once you change a single text field in a dialog so that it accepts a return or linefeed, it's always going to trump any button shortcut because keystrokes are sent first to the control that has focus.

Just to take it a little further: if you move the focus away from the text field -- say, select the dialog message -- the return key will then dismiss the dialog.
