Subject: [PATCH] Open notes when accepting the request input Other option
 (#38624)

## What changed

When the generated `None of the above` option is selected in a request user
input prompt, route Enter and configured accept actions to the notes editor
instead of submitting the response. Tab continues to open the same editor.

## Testing

Add a regression test confirming that both Tab and Enter reveal the notes editor
without submitting the response.
