Good morning all... In previous versions, when you closed an unsaved document (or one with unsaved changes), and you had "Full Keyboard Access" in System Prefs turned on, there were three single-key mappings available:
1.) Return to Save 2.) esc to Cancel 3.) SpaceBar to Don't Save In v12, the SpaceBar has been hard-coded against standard OS behavior to 'SAVE' instead of 'Don't Save' due to a number of complaints by users who have dismissed their unsaved changes by hitting the SpaceBar at this Save sheet prompt. Those users could have simply turned off Full Keyboard Access in System Preferences or used the global keyboard shortcut CNTRL-F7 to toggle the setting. Am I the only one unhappy with this? Almost every app I use behaves this way, and I am quite used to the workflow. I often open files/send text to BBEdit to woof up some text (like composing this message) or try something out and do not save a doc or changes, and simply hitting the SpaceBar after closing is what I have been trained to do since MacOS 10.5. Now, the SpaceBar *SAVES* changes (along with the ENTER and RETURN keys), so if I hit that from years of muscle memory, I have to reopen the document and go through the process of locating all changes I was testing and back them out (or restore from a TM backup). So now, one of my most often used apps behaves differently than all the rest of them. I am curious if I am the only one really bugged about this behavior change, especially since there was a perfectly workable solution in the System Prefs for those users who were losing unsaved changes by *accidentally* hitting the SpaceBar when closing their doc without saving their work.
