Remove 'move' function mapping from the Return/Enter key.
The "move" function pop-up menu is activated by both "Shift + Command M" as well as the Return/Enter key. You are able to clear the "Shift + Command M" function by using Edit Keyboard Shortcuts, but the Return/Enter key will still engage this pop-up menu when an object is selected. Being close to the Shift key, it's constantly triggered on accident and it's not (as far as I can tell) currently possible to remove this function from being mapped to the Return/Enter Key.

Glen, Enter is hardcoded to call the current tool’s options dialog.
It works for every tool that has options in Illustrator. For Selection tools it calls the Move dialog.
It is considered to be a 'core key', like Escape or Delete, or arrow keys, and these can’t be changed.There is request for that, however. I am merging your entry with it.

If i click an object and than press enter appears the popup move object.
I tried to remove this shortcut, seems impossible, cause is not listed ENTER by MOVE key command.... so don´t want to move nothing if I press enter.
do you have any solution?

Is this a PC-only function? I've just moved to using a PC after being on a Mac for the last 10 years, and this key-mapping is a constant irritation when I'm renaming library items, but I don't recall running into it on a Mac. I'm adding my voice to the request to allow re-mapping.

Are you kidding me? This was a stupid idea to make it move when you hit the return key.

This key mapping should be editable in the normal way. eg. call it "Default Tool Action".

I use enter to confirm stuff in all other programs (such as confirming image placement after "place image" in Photoshop), and since they mapped "Move" shortcut to Enter key, it became really really annoying to have it constantly accidentaly move stuff without me having asked for it. I agree, this should be remappable in options. This would help us who have to work with several Adobe tools in parallel to confuse shortcuts between programs less.
@Egor Christyakov - congratulations on being so pretentious and full of yourself that you can't imagine why someone would want this option. We really needed your arrogant and useless input on this. We feel enlightened and grateful.

I frequently bring up the Move dialogue box instead of deleting selected objects by accidentally hitting Enter instead of Delete. Being able to re-map this Move hotkey would be ideal to remove this issue when working at speed.

Enter is common hotkey to access dialogue modes for every tool, not only selection.
I can't imagine how you use right Shift at all, but I agree that this key could be map-able.
It still sounds strange. It's like 'Please let me disable Esc, I put my cup on it.'
I won't vote for this, but I can advise you to study Autohotkey (Windows only sadly) which would allow you to remap Enter within AI.
