Enter key stroke bug in Spotlight

Bugs or Unexpected Behavior
1

Describe the bug
When the enter button is clicked, it registers a down keystroke instead of enter. I have root caused it to BTT. This problem goes away when BTT is exited. I don't have any remapping of the enter key and it happens only in Spotlight.

Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):
Keyboards

check the "Recently used" section in BTT, most likely there is some trigger you forgot about

Ahh - I do have Enter mapped to Cmd+O for Finder. This seems to get applied to Spotlight also. Anyway to address this?

I have similar config and this works (reality is that I do not use Finder a lot so not sure if this covers edge cases) for me:

Or you could try this: Add the condition to the shortcut cmd+O, only if the “Spotlight” window is not visible.

And set up a second shortcut, Enter = Enter, if the “Spotlight” window is visible.
