Yes, indeed, I think I caught myself pressing Ctrl-S in the extended tags dialogue - simply because you get so used to it. Just like pressing Enter for other interactions.

But actually, where I stumble frequently: why can't I edit actions without selected files. Yes, different topic, should be discussed here:
