In macOS dialog menus, two buttons are usually already in focus: one will probably be encircled in blue and is invoked by hitting SpaceSpace, the other will be filled in blue and can be invoked by pressing .

Sometimes, there's only one button in focus (like in the above examplefollowing image) or there are simply more buttons than the two already in (either kind of) focus.

figure1

In either of those cases, is there any way to quickly set focus on the unfocused buttons?

P. S. - I was considering settings this: figure2 To All controls, but that's too much of compromise in dialogs where I actually need quickly to move between boxes and modify their contents.

Thanks!

Quickly Focusing on Dialog Buttons Other Than Those in Focus
