Hi,

personally I used 'System Preferences' - 'Keyboard and Mouse' - 'Keyboard Shortcuts' and have set the 'Complete Keyboard Access' to 'All' (hope I translated my German OSX right 😉 ).

That way the 'Full Coloured Button' is for the 'Return-Key' and the borderd buttons can be switched with the 'Tab-key' and activated with the 'Space-Bar'.

Hi Neil,

That's one of the best tips I've seen in ages. Thanks!

Now we are on this topic... when I want to Quit Safari, if I have more then one window open, when I Command + Q, I get the dialog box: Are you sure you want to quit Safari? Do you want to quit anyway... is there a keystroke for quit or cancel on this ?????

TIA,
Carolyn 🙂

The "Quit" button is blue, so Return or Enter will do it. If the "Cancel" button has a blue outline, then Space will do it. If it doesn't have the blue outline, set "Full keyboard access" to "All controls" at the bottom of the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab of "Keyboard & Mouse" system preference.

If you want Safari to quit without asking, even if there are multiple pages, uncheck "Confirm when closing multiple pages" in Safari's "Tabs" preference.
