Feedback: "Create new item" type-selection modal should pre-select first option

After upgrading to version 8, the new "create new item" workflow introduces a modal to select the type of item. I don't remember exactly what this looked like in version 7, but I think it either always defaulted to a login, or some other simplifying step where you could just start creating the new record.

In my case--and I'd assume the majority of other users--almost all (96%) of my entries are Logins. Even if it's not exactly a website, it still isn't one of the other types, so I just put the information into a "Login".

The first thing this new workflow made me think of was Microsoft Word's Document Gallery. By default, this gallery pops up each time you open the app, and by default, it's the first setting I change whenever I install Word on a new device. It just gets in the way. I want to make a document, let me decide later is extra structures on it might be helpful.

If the modal needs to stay and a user-level setting to skip it isn't possible, I can live with that. However, it would be much appreciated to include a different part of the behavior from Microsoft Word: hitting "Enter" when the gallery pops up automatically selects the default (first) document type and lets me start my document.

In the "Create new item" modal, instead of pre-selecting the search box, pre-select the "Login" type so I can hit "Enter" and continue to the new item.
