Saving was an example. Take, for instance, an email, When you close an email without sending it, you are presented with a dialog with three buttons to save a draft, don't save, or cancel. What I wonder is if this and other dialogs all have hotkeys for the different buttons? I know applications have hotkeys through menu items, but dialogs, by definition, have no menus and therefore no menu items to bind to hotkeys.
