Subject: Re: hotkeys for buttons in dialogs?
Shouldn't apear. You have to define what CMD key to use for quick search.
This one then no longer works as a normal CMD key.

I know about that feature, but I don't like to use it in case there are
conflicts with app hotkeys.

Just additional:
CTRL + Option + CMD + eject = shut down Mac
CTRL + CMD + eject = restart
Option + CMD + eject = sleep mode
To Alex:
Do you know of the "Quick Search" option in VoiceOver? If it's selected
you can use one of the CMD keys + the first letter of anything and VO
brings you to the next entry with this first letter. Means for dialogue
boxes: pres CMD + d for "Don't save" and CMD + s for "Save" or CMD + c
for "Cancel". Works rather good. You'll find the option in VoiceOver
settings in "Navigation" category.
Sorry but I'm not able to explain it better in english. Hopefully you'll
get what I meant.

Not quite but use modifiers with the power button to do the following.
Control + power = show shutdown dialog.
Option + Command + power = Sleep mode.
Control + Command + Power = quit all applications and restart the
computer.
Control + option + Command + Power = quit all applications and shut down
the computer.
Hope this helps.

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,
