"Create new project" dialog box button focus is "Cancel" not "Create"

[richlysakowski]

When creating a new project in Spyder the default button highlighted is "Cancel", not "Create".

So the user (me) enters the new project information, hits the "Enter" key on the keyboard, and the dialog box disappears without creating the project, because the "Cancel" button is highlighted by default. So I have to re-enter the information.

I have trained myself to not use the mouse, and rely on well-designed GUIs to have the proper defaults keyboard shortcuts for the operation at hand, in this case "Create" project.

Please cleanup this minor usability issue in the next release.

Thank you.
