When you copy or move files in the Finder in Yosemite and there is a conflict, a small dialog box pops up proposing:

keep both    stop    replace

(or "skip" if you press option).

However, I can't find any way to choose one of the options with the keyboard.

There's no default option. Cmd-R doesn't work for replace. Escape does nothing.

I've tried every combination I can think of and nothing works.

Are there keyboard shortcuts to choose these options?

You can enable keyboard control in Preferences

enter image description here

With this, You can switch between buttons with ⇥ TAB and select it with Space. Active button will have blue border.

NOTE: default buttons (all blue) are still clickable with ⏎ RETURN.

    Thanks, that works great. I will be curious to see if the extra functionality is annoying elsewhere (on web pages for example).

  • Awesome, I didn't know about that. Took me a sec to realize even the "apply to all button" is included in this
