 Pressing enter to execute a search is a common pattern. In WordPress all
 the other pages offer this behaviour. Instead, in `themes.php` the search
 field loses focus. Looks like this is intentional:
 {{{
 // Lose input focus when pressing enter
 if ( event.which === 13 ) {
         this.$el.trigger( 'blur' );
 }
 }}}

 This is confusing especially for keyboard users, not to mention screen
 reader users are totally lost. In fact, there's a focus loss and users
 will have to start tabbing again from the beginning of the page.

 Would simply propose to remove it, don't see any reason for this feature,
 unless I'm missing something. See proposed patch.
