Activate the Don't Save button in Lion from the keyboard using AppleScript
The Applescript is a very welcome and useful recovery of a very intutive and productive keyboard option I used countless times with a wide range of documents and draft files. The above reader "suggestions" are not relevant to me: the fact that Apple decided in its infinite and arbitrary wisdom to change a perfectly good and intuitive keyboard shortcut "Cmd-d" to select the "Don't Save" - where the "d" in the Cmd intuitively represents the "D" in the option - made for a much poorer and un-intuitive implementation in Lion. Substituting "Cmd-Delete" for "Cmd-d" is a mis-representation: because I am not Deleting a document, I am Not Saving a draft document that I had started.

Ah, but you are deleting a document. Because unsaved documents are actually saved.

OK, then:

They didn't change that hot key for no reason: Cmd-D has always been the hot key to jump to the Desktop folder in Finder and in Open dialogs. So by making this change in Save dialogs, they actually made things more intuitive (at least for new Mac users and for people who have no problems adapting to change—and remember, the ability to adapt is key to survival!).
Now about the new hot key, you may argue that not saving a document is different than deleting it, if you like to split hairs, but you gotta admit that the result is the same. And at least it's an easy one to remember.

No, command-d had always been don't save. Also "Duplicate" in the Finder. |
