System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts
And change the radio at the bottom to "All controls" under Full Keyboard Access.
- JadeNB 14y agoTo get to System Preferences, you can use CTRL-F2 to get to the Apple menu, CTRL-F3 to get to the Dock, or—if those shortcuts aren't set up (but I think that they are by default)—CMD-TAB to get to Finder, CMD-A to get to the Applications folder, and type a few letters to get to 'System Preferences.app'. :-) In the System Preferences window, you can start typing to select 'Keyboard' (keyboard focus is in the Spotlight menulet). You can tab to the 'Keyboard' / 'Keyboard Shortcuts' tab bar, then arrow over to 'Keyboard Shortcuts', then tab to the 'Full Keyboard Access' radio buttons. Sadly, these last few steps require that Full Keyboard Access already be turned on! The text below the radio buttons says that you can toggle the setting with CTRL-F7, but that doesn't work for me; I'm not sure if some other keybinding is interfering.

- daniel02216 14y agoDo you have the 'use F1, etc as function keys' unchecked? You'll need to use fn+control+F7 instead.
- JadeNB 14y agoNope—the machine is a laptop, but I'm using an external keyboard. For example, CTRL-F2 and CTRL-F3 both work fine.
- philfreo 14y agoHow do you keyboard navigate the TextEdit save dialog that comes up when you Cmd+w on a window when you don't want to save it? (Can you do better than press tab 5 times then space?)
- dwich 14y agoPrior to Lion, Cmd+D means "don't save" in the dialog. With Lion, it's Cmd+Backspace.
