Well, you could register an event listener on the anchor and handle the key 
events there, so they shouldn't simply be sent to the view. 

Possible we could handle only the return key and ignore all other keys, but 
that would be inconsistent to form elements (i.e. a lineedit). when you 
press space while you're in a lineedit you don't expect that it scrolls the 
page either. 

I guess thats the way to go then.
