JavaFX spinner prevents defaultbutton from firing on enter key when spinner has focus. How to override?

I have three javafx spinners (a Time control) but all three expect keycode ENTER to commit their values by default. I have added a event filter to commit values on keycode TAB. I have a defaultbutton which should fire when ENTER is pressed, but because of the spinners I first have to tab through all three spinners before the defaultbutton fires on ENTER.
I want the default button ENTER event to fire even when the spinners have focus. How can I do this?
(The default button sits in a different class so I don't want to explicitly fire it from the spinner class.)

That's working as designed: the default button will only see the enter, if no other control grabbed it - you can't have both. Except maybe hook into to commit (on Enter of the spinner), to not consume if there's nothing to commit. Anyway, please provide a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example that demonstrates the problem.
