This is some functionality that is, imo, seriously broken. Objects
like these should not retain focus after enter is hit.

seriously!

i decided on using the row selection data output to trigger a select to a number box. fortunately, i don’t need my numberkeys, as those would get sucked up by the now-selected number box!!
