Is there an equivalent to ⌘ + D in the new save dialogs?

Question

In Snow Leopard and prior, when clsoing a window with unsaved changes, the system would suggest to either save, cancel or discard the changes from keyboard shortcuts. You could:

• save return
• cancel ⌘+.
• discard the changes ⌘+D.

The Lion save dialog that gets summoned instead of the "Would you like to save?" dialog works differently:

⌘+. and return still work¹, but ⌘+D has no effect.

Is there a new keyboard shortcut to discard?

Answer 1

⌘+⌫

Pressing Command-Delete (or perhaps more commonly known as backspace) also does the same trick.

That's all there is to it!

Answer 2

In Terminal.app, you can change this back to the old behaviour using

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSSavePanelStandardDesktopShortcutOnly -bool YES

To revert to the default behaviour, set

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSSavePanelStandardDesktopShortcutOnly -bool NO

Answer 3

It depends on the application. For example, in Powerpoint 2011 ⌘D still works, ⌘⌫ does nothing in the dialog.

I guess it's personal preference, I like to use Space (or Tab until Don't Save is in focus, Space) for this action.
