Thought I'd better ask before making an STR;
is there a way to switch around the positions of the
OK and Cancel buttons in Fl_File_Chooser via the API?

All my apps (and most apps these days) have the OK button at the far right:

        +-----------------------------------------------+
        |                                               |
        |    xxxxxxxxxxxxxx                             |
        |                        +--------+  +--------+ |
        |                        | Cancel |  |   OK   | |
        |                        +--------+  +--------+ |
        +-----------------------------------------------+

But FLTK's file chooser is by default opposite of that:

        +-----------------------------------------------+
        |                                               |
        |    xxxxxxxxxxxxxx                             |
        |    xxxxxxxxxxxxxx                             |
        |    xxxxxxxxxxxxxx                             |
        |    xxxxxxxxxxxxxx                             |
        |    xxxxxxxxxxxxxx                             |
        |    xxxxxxxxxxxxxx                             |
        |                                               |
        |                        +--------+  +--------+ |
        |                        |   OK   |  | Cancel | |
        |                        +--------+  +--------+ |
        +-----------------------------------------------+

..so all the time my users are often hitting the 'Cancel'
button after browsing to a directory.

If it's not in the API, I'd like to make an STR for it..



ps. This "OK on the left" must be a Microsoft thing. I use
    Microsoft very rarely, so it seems foreign to me.
    Seems unix browsers tend to have it OK at the far right
    (Firefox File->Open File, Mac Preview -> File -> Open).
    But I notice on Windows OK is always the farthest left
    (Explorer -> File -> Open).
