Mac OS X OK Button Key Command?

[David Lewis]

Well, it’s not for lack of trying… I tried changing the “has default” and “is default” tags for the invoice dialog in the glade file, but no luck. I also tried an <accelerator> tag in the glade file, but still no go. I also tried to hide some of the 
buttons and boxes I don’t really use, but it seemed to make a mess. I suppose I could click the button with the mouse….

Thanks again for your time,
Dave

It can (and in general should) be set up as the behavior of the return key, but it needs to be done explicitly for each dialog in either the GrkBuilder xml file or in the controlling code. If it isn't you should still be able to tab to the OK button and press return.

You'll need to do it for each dialog box.
