Likewise, escape usually cancels whatever popped up a modal dialog. If you empty your trash and it asks "Are you sure…" you can hit enter to make it so or hit escape to cancel that.

When a dialog has a default button, the enter key alone will activate it from anywhere in the dialog. This is why you can often press enter in a "save file" dialog, even though you're on the file name or location. There's no VO-specific part of this, it's just enter on its own.

That is what VO means, so pressing VO-space will activate that default button.

Okay, little embarrassed to ask this question… ;)

When dialog boxes come up and there is a default button, is there a VO command to always select the default option? I’m not certain if VO is consistently over the default button.

Thanks,
Traci
