Also,the dialogue box for Don't Save/Save As/Cancel etc. No indication wether you need Apple-d, ctrl-d or just d for don't save. You can't tab between options.


You can if you activate "full keyboard access", can't remember if it's in the keyboard or accessibility pane.


I still can't work out what the highlight ring around a button means. (2nd best option after the glowing button ?) What if a button is glowing, and has the highlight ring around it?


As far as I can tell, the ring means "keyboard focus is here" and the glow means "default button". Enter will activate the default button while space will activate the keyboard focused button.


P.S: not trying to defend Apple here, just trying to relieve you from some annoyances ;)

    I just looked in preferneces -> Keyboard & Mouse and my enable full keyboard access has been checked all the time. I still don't see any clues about what is the keyboard shortcut.
