On Mac OS X, by default you cannot use the Tab
key to move the focus from one dialog button to another. You can fix this by selecting
Apple Menu > System Preferences... Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts > Full keyboard access:
>
All controls
This setting makes Tab
switch between the buttons and also Space
will select the
Yes
button in a dialog by default.
