If I want to shut down my Mac, I close all applications that I am working
on, then press down the three keys, ctrl, option and command keys, and press
eject.
I don't know how I found it, but it works.

Subject: Re: hotkeys for buttons in dialogs?
When you press the power button, you can then press the hot keys; s for shut
down, r for restart, and something else for sleep I can't remember. No
command modifier key needed here.

Not just that. When you push the power button you get the dialog with
buttons for sleep, restart, shut down, and so forth. Do these have hotkdys
vo simply can't see?

I've not found the hot keys yet. I understand now what you are asking
now if you close something before you finish it.

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.

You don't have a save button on the Mac. Once you have done something,
just close the window and it's there for you next time. I prefer that
to be honest.

Hi all,
I was reading through some of Apple's developer documentation and I
stumbled across a way to assign hotkeys to buttons in dialogs. For
instance, if a dialog comes up asking you to "save", "don't save", or
"cancel", you might hit cmd-d to activate "don't save". This is
similar to Windows' scheme of letting you press alt with a key to
activate a button in most dialogs. Ever since I started using the mac,
the absence of these access keys has bugged me, as they are such
time-savers, particularly in dialogs with a lot of buttons to tab or
vo-arrow through. However, having discovered that it is possible, at
least programmatically, to implement access keys, I have to wonder if
these keys are available, but simply not announced by Voiceover? Is
there a setting that will let vo speak the keys, much like NVDA or
Jaws on Windows will say something like "save button, alt plus s"? Or
is the case simply that, while access keys are possible, no one uses
them? Thanks.
Have a great day,
