I think this behavior (already in several Linux distros) is really far more

is either new to Unix or familiar with most Linux distros will be far less
confused.
For the record, you change options with <SPC> and <ENTER> accepts
the current action button; usually "OK" or "Cancel". <TAB> moves
between action buttons.
The old dialog has a green highlight that shows which button has the
current focus. Space or Enter is effectively a mouse click on the
current button.
Maybe we need to add a screen at the start of the installation warning that
dialog behavior has changed.
Or "Space to toggle options, arrows to move, Tab to move highlight,
Enter to accept highlighted action" instructions in the border of the
dialog window. Or, in my case, "Now you have two kinds of activate
keys--guess which does what!"
