Odd - just found this lying in my drafts folder; was sure I'd posted this at 
the time, but apparently not.

Here it is anyway, though late and thus of diminished usefulness!

It certainly used to be a commonplace convention - it's one of those things, 
like Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V that I just seem to have always "known"... But then I've 
been doing this for a loooong time...

I think you'll find that it works on Windows (or at least, it did last time I 
looked; yup, just tried it in an NT4 VM and it worked fine in non-fltk apps... 
Can't comment on whether it works in "current" versions though, but I think it 
does!)

Also tried it in OSX, and it seems to work in some places, not others, which is 
a bit odd. Thought Apple were meant to be consistent about these things...

Anyway, using the spacebar to trigger the currently selected button seems to 
work in a number of places, and is not fltk specific, which is what I expected, 
to be frank.
