Synopsis: Yes/No/Cancel dialog boxes do not respond to the Y and N keys
Description
When a Yes/No/Cancel dialog is displayed, the Y and N keys do not behave in the standard way expected of a Windows program. The keys do nothing. The Y key should click the Yes button and the N key should click the No button. This non-standard behaviour is annoying. After hitting the key, and finding it does nothing, I have to Tab to the button I want and then hit Enter, or else I have to use the mouse.
To Reproduce
1. Make a change to a class. 2. Click on another class in the Cluster tool. 3. A dialog appears, asking for confirmation to save the modified class. 4. Type Y, which in any self-respecting Windows program will click the Yes button. Type N, which should click the No button. In EiffelStudio, they do nothing.
