Keyboard shortcut for 'Don't Save'

For dialogs where options are "Save" (the default), "Cancel", and "Don't Save", 'return' or 'enter' and 'escape' are the keyboard shortcuts for the first two, but what about the last one?

I couldn't find this shortcut in the Finder Help, but after some experimentation, I discovered that control-D works for "Don't Save". I don't know if it's standard, but it worked for all apps where I tried it.

[Editor's note: It may well be standard, but I'm certain I never knew about it.]
