lark has a Mac question.

[Larkitect]

on windows, when i wanted to cycle through the [YES] [NO] [CANCEL] [OK] [END] buttons, i just used the Tab key.

i’m almost into year 3 of my mac conversion and i just now had an alert dialogue where it would have been convenient to use the keyboad and not the trackpad to do this:

i learned all kinds of shortcuts that do other things while experimenting, but not this one.

help from anyone is welcome, but i know the Captain must know how to do this?

You have to enable it.

System Preferences >> Keyboard >> Keyboard Shortcuts

At the bottom, you probably have the radio button for “Text boxes and lists only” selected… change it to “All controls” and you’ll be set.

you the man!

thanks, that was it.

Keep asking the ones that make me look smart.
