Answer 1

Based on Richard Aguirre's answer, which is better than the selected answer for ease of use, imho, you can make this more generic by simply changing the Grid to a UIElement.

To change it in whole project you need to do this

• In App.xaml.cs:

   protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
   {           
       EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(typeof(UIElement), UIElement.PreviewKeyDownEvent, new KeyEventHandler(Grid_PreviewKeyDown));
       base.OnStartup(e);
   }
  
   private void Grid_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)
   {
       var uie = e.OriginalSource as UIElement;
  
       if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
       {
           e.Handled = true;
           uie.MoveFocus(
           new TraversalRequest(
           FocusNavigationDirection.Next));
       }
   }
  

• Compile. And done it. Now you can use enter like tab. Note: This work for elements in the grid
