Keyboard shortcut for "Don't Save"?

Hi,

On my old MacBook Pro (OSX 10.6.8) I had a keyboard setting so that when a Save dialog box popped up, the "Save" button is highlighted Blue, and the "Don't Save" button is highlighted with a rectangular Blue ring around it. The <Enter> selected "Save", and the <Space Bar> selected "Don't Save".

Is there an equivalent shortcut in OSX 10.8?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 16 GB RAM

That depends on the application. Try command-delete.

Not an equivalent, per se, but the exact same thing.

Keyboard System Preferences, Full Keyboard Access, All Controls.

That works! At least in "TextEdit" it does.

Thanks!

That allows me to tab between all fields, but it doesn't automatically put the blue ring around "Don't Save" and allow selection with the <Space Bar>
