Discussion:
[Audacity-users] can't close Audacity with keyboard

(Audacity 2.1.2, iOS 10.12.4, MacbookPro)

When I finish using Audacity, I press CMD-W to close the window (or CMD-Q
to quit the app).

Audacity asks "Save changes before closing". By pressing TAB I can
"select" Yes, No or Cancel - but to no avail! When I press Enter, Audacity
insists on saving the current work.

Can this be improved?

(Not wanting to save the work is quite common. If one loads in a file,
plays it, makes no alteration, and exits the app, there is no point in
rewriting it to disk.)

​Thanks for previous help! Tony​

I think you mean macOS. iOS is for iPhone, iPad and iPod but
Audacity is not available for iOS.

Yes is the default button, so ENTER will always activate that default,
irrespective of what other buttons you tabbed to.

Either click "No" with the mouse, or TAB to "No" and press SPACE.
