One person mentioned elsewhere that they seemed to recall Mac OS used to show key equivalents of the Don't Save, Cancel, Save buttons when the user held down the command key. I too seem to have a vague memory of that, but, Apple seems to have dropped that particular UI design a long time ago.

I don't believe that was a stock Mac OS behavior or exhibited by any Apple application, but I certainly saw it in 3rd-party apps. In particular, and to name a high-profile example, I'm very sure that BBEdit did that at one time.
