Navigating OS X dialogs with the keyboard I am a keyboardist and using the mouse is slow and distracting. For the following dialog - which is just an example since there are others similar to it - how would one choose a non-default button using the keyboard?



I have tried arrow keys, tab, various letters .. none do anything to move the selected button. 

Does Apple dislike keyboardists?
OS X 10.10 "Yosemite" (and older versions at least back to OS X 10.7 "Lion") lets you use the Tab key to navigate between buttons (and other items) on the screen. To configure it select "All controls" in System Preferences>Keyboard>Shortcuts as shown below:



When the desired button has focus, press the Space bar to select it. (Don't press Enter, as it will select the default button.)
