Hi Cor,
your examples are not completely correct: In the cases of Alt+F12 (tools
-> options -> user data) and Ctrl+1 (cell formatting) Enter triggers the
button that _has the focus_ - as it should do! Only Alt+Enter and
Ctrl+Enter do close the dialog (also for Alt+F12, in contrast to your
statement!), rgardless of which button has the focus. And the effect of
using these is in fact the same as using OK.
But in the case of the Basic Macro Organiser, tab Libraries, we do not
know if Alt+Enter triggers the function of the default button, or if it
triggers Close or Cancel, because we cannot see any effect like with OK.
This too sparse evidence to see a pattern. And then you say yourself in
one of your mails "Maybe it is not the default button, but the Close/OK
button." , so even you seemed not to be sure when you answered Heiko,
although the two examples you provided later seem to point to the
default button.
So your examples do not provide evidence for your feeling of "ultimate
utter confusion".
If you know of a dialog where Enter does not trigger the button that has
the focus, then it will probably be an error and worth a filing a bug.
But for a key shortcut to work like the default button I do not know: if
the button has the focus, you don't need it, you have Enter then; and if
it hasn't, you do not see what the default button is, you only may
remember. And in most cases the default button is still active, because
you changed only the data in the fields, this is at least the case for
the examples you provided, even if I use the keyboard and not the mouse
to arrive at the fields I want to change, so Enter is sufficient then.
As a result, I for myself see no reason for introducing a general notion
of a key shortcut for the default button
Greetings

Hi Gerhard,

I explained the situations where it's different.
And as written, it sometimes is Alt+Enter closes. E.g. Macro> Organize
dlg.
But Enter works well for Macros -> Organise Macros and Macros ->
Organise Dialogs! So why do you say it's different?
I stumbled over it, with the dlg Basic Macro Organiser, tab Libraries,
having the focus on Import. Of course hitting Alt+Enter was not what
intended to do, but since I did, I was suprised. Now it looks, as if is
in more situations. But for sure not always.
E.g.:
- Alt+F12: Enter, Ctr+Enter, Alt+Enter all close (OK)
- Calc, Format Cells (Ctrl+1): Enter closes (OK), but Ctr+Enter,
Alt+Enter do nothing.
Ultimate utter confusion..
Heiko: help :)
