So to clarify, if I wanted to enable the return key to activate any one
of the buttons tabbed to, I would need to either manually set the
default button or have a manual event intercept going?
Thanks

controls that take keyboard input can receive the focus. That said,
there is a setting in keyboard preferences to enable tabbing to
checkboxes and buttons. In that case, the button with focus can be
clicked by pressing the spacebar.In all cases, return or cmd-return should click the *default* button
(the one throbbing blue; the one you've defined as the default button).So, if it isn't a default button, it is behaving correctly if return
doesn't click it.
