Thanks for the comments.
On my development machine running 10.12.6 pressing the spacebar will dismiss a
simple NSAlert. This is because in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts >
Full Keyboard Access > All Controls was selected. (For some reason it took
forever to discover this.)
When "All Controls" is selected the control with focus will have a focus ring
drawn around it and pressing the spacebar will "click" the control with focus.
Also pressing the tab key will move the keyboard focus between controls.
Setting a control key equivalent to the return key will make it the default
control and it will be blue. The default control can be "clicked" by pressing
the return key.
One common place where you can see all of this in action is in the alert when
emptying the trash in Finder.
At one time this may have been all in my muscle memory but if you have been
using your iPhone day in and day out for the last many years then you may need
a referesher.
