Ah, right. Well, it's a mixed bag. Some applications support this
initial button letter feature with or without the Command key, some
allow it in only some dialogs, and some allow it everywhere. Some
display or highlight the letter key for each button when the Command
key is pressed, some don't. It's very ad hoc.
It seems to me that if a sheet is active, unmodified keypresses should
go to the sheet (which I'm pretty sure they actually do) and if it
only has buttons, and no editable text, then it might make sense to
support button selection using unmodified keys. I find it very
frustrating in Mail when I can't type Command-D to select "Don't Save"
when I close a message window. Since sheets are modeless, and
Command-D is already assigned to a menu item, I think accepting
unmodified keypresses instead would make a lot of sense.
My only problem with them is when you get an unanticipated sheet and
you are in the midst of typing. If you happen to hit 'd' at the wrong
time, you could lose data.
