a typed command to click 'cancel'

[Montserrat]

The save button for Œsave as¹ can be accopmplished simply by typing the
return key.

The 'cancel' button requires me to move the cursor to 'cancel' and click


Is there a simple typed command to click 'cancel'?

Escape. And sometimes, typing the first letter of the button name will also
work, but this is not as reliable as Esc for cancel.

Command-Period (particularly in apps that were around in the "old" days)
also works in some apps.

I am so very bitter that cmd-period no longer reliably cancels whatever is
happening. Especially when it doesn't cancel stuff in the OS like printing.
