On the above shown asking popup window on Mac, how can I select another button (left button) by using keyboard.
Without clicking mouse button, I want to make left button highlighten.
Is there any shortcuts?
Go to Preferences -> Keyboard. At the bottom, turn on "All controls" under "Full Keyboard Access".
The alternate option will be highlighted with a blue ring. Hitting space will activate this. If there are multiple options, hitting tab will alternate between them.
For English/Mac OSX 10.10:
Go to Keyboard in System Preferences, and then select 'All controls'. Space will select the alternate option if two options. If more than two options then tab will alternate between them.
PS: I would much rather the option of using arrow keys and enter. Interested to know if anyone knows how to hack this?
After reading Tricon's answer, I got the way!!!
Just see the following shortcuts.
Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard & keyboard input (I don't know the correct English menu, I'm using Korean "탭이 초점을 이동하는 방식 변경 (^F7) )
Once you do ^F7 (In case of mac book, Control + fn + F7) on a popup window, you can travel over buttons on any popup windw!!!
Thank you Tricon for giving me clue :)
In Catalina in Keyboard -> Shortcuts press Use keyboard navigation to mve focus between controls. Then you can use Tab to highlight another button and use Space to actually press it.

I work at a Japanese company and we all use Windows 10. I am used to using keybinds after rightclicking for a pop up Context Menu. At home, my PC does not show any keybind options when I do the same thing.
The Japanese image below in not mine, but an example for reference. You can see that "Eject" (取り出し) has a keybind marked as (J).
Is there any option to add this feature to my PC? I have searched everywhere to no avail.

Thank you in advanced.
They are there but hidden by default when you use the mouse. If you open the context menu with the keyboard (the context menu key or Shift+F10) then they should be underlined.
Starting with Windows 2000, keyboard indicators such as underlined accelerators and focus rectangles (collectively known as “keyboard cues”) are hidden by default, and are revealed only when you start using the keyboard. You can control this behavior from the Desktop Control Panel, under Appearance, Effects, “Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key”.
I am creating a macOS app and would like to create a keyboard shortcut for when the user taps the space bar for one of my buttons.
I am not sure where I should start and even where the documentation is for this? What should I be looking for?
You can now add keyboard shortcuts for many of your UI elements directly in a storyboard, by clicking on the Attribute inspector and scrolling down to "Key Equivalent". You just click in the Key Equivalent text field and press the key equivalent on your keyboard.
I'm novice with Xcode. Could you please hint me which Xcode shortcuts to show
documentation of an object;
which methods are available for the object.
Thank you in advance!
If you press Alt and press on an element once the inline documentation will be displayed in a small box. If you press Alt twice, the documentation will be opened in a new window. The screenshot shows the sincle tap:
For other shortcuts you can access and change the xCode shortcuts in Preferences -> Key Bindings
For me the tool you can find on this website is the best for all shortcuts on your mac. After installing, you always can display all shortcuts of a program. You press CMD and you get the shortcuts of the program which is acutaly selected:
When you press the keys for an NSMenuItem keyboard shortcut on Mac, the menu itself highlights to indicate that an action in that menu has been activated.
If you are not familiar with the effect try it now by selecting some text and while pressing CMD-C, watch the Edit menu. It will flash blue to indicate you activated a shortcut for an item in that menu.
I want to achieve the same effect programmatically, preferably without faking the keyboard entry. Thanks for your time.
Use the Accessibility framework. Find the menu item and send it an AXPress action.
In Windows, in any windows form or web browser, you can use the tab button to switch focus through all of the form fields.
It will stop on textboxes, radiobuttons, checkboxes, dropdown menus, etc.
However, in Mac OSX, tab skips dropdown menus. Is there anyway to change this behavior, or access the above items mentioned, without using a mouse?
Go to System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse, then choose Keyboard Shortcuts. At the bottom, ensure Full Keyboard Access is set to "All controls". It's a long time since I turned it on but I think that's all you need to do
Apple Menu > System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts:
Change the radio button at the bottom from "Text boxes and lists only" to "All controls."
Edit: Dammit. We're a fast group around here aren't we? :-)
I have found that I also need to set accessibility.tabfocus to 7 in Firefox's about:config.
It's in the System Preferences - this blog post shows where the setting is.
