Solaris Print Manager's Default Buttons

Each Solaris Print Manager dialog box that contains buttons has an associated default button. This button, indicated by a heavy black border, is activated if you press the Return key when focus is anywhere in the dialog box.

When focus is within a combo box such as the Naming Service menu, pressing the Return key doesn't activate the default button nor will pressing the Esc (Escape) key cancel a menu. Instead, you'll see the following behavior:

• Pressing the Return key highlights a component

• Pressing the Esc key displays the previous menu

As you move focus among the available buttons, the border which indicates the default surrounds the button which currently has focus. This means that pressing the Return key activates whatever button has focus. Pressing the Space bar also activates a button which has focus. When focus moves from a button to another component in the dialog, the original default button is restored.
