All of this depends on how you guys are using those buttons.

If you are using a QDialog subclass, you can make one of the buttons the
"default" button for the dialog:

If you are using some other widget to display the buttons, there are other
ways to connect a key press with a specific button. For example, you could
create an action with a keyboard shortcut, connect its triggered() signal
to a push button's animateClick() slot, and add it to the button's parent
widget:

  # b is the chosen button
  # w is the button's parent widget
  action = QAction(w)
  action.setShortcut(QKeySequence("Return"))
  w.connect(action, SIGNAL("triggered()"), b, SLOT("animateClick()"))
  w.addAction(action)

You might need to add another action to the widget if you also want the
Enter key to have the same effect as the Return key.
