Recently switched over to PC from Mac.

I used to press "command + enter" to confirm the "OK" option on any dialog box. Probably used it hundreds of times every sitdown. But it's not working on Windows, I've tried all key modifier combinations, and I've found nothing related on google.

Anyone know how to do this on Windows? It's a pretty key workflow trick to avoid always going over to the mouse.

I don't believe Windows has a comparable shortcut. Mouse Click the OK button. Ctrl-Click activates all OK buttons on all open dialogue boxes. You might need to create a shortcut with TG Tools Keyboard Shortcuts, or use a third party program for keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks zuill. Ctrl+click for multiple OKs is something, at least.

Really hard to understand how there could be no way to complete a dialog box with the keyboard alone. Very upsetting

Heads up to anyone else who might find this topic / struggle,

If you hit Ctrl+Tab, then Enter, there's no need to touch the mouse in dialog boxes. Hallelujah.
