The Escape key is, as usual, a shortcut for clicking on Cancel. But there is not shortcut, to my knowledge, equivalent to clicking on Don't Save. Quite inconvenient to have to use the mouse just for that.

In the source, I've just added Cmd-D for the Don't Save button; there may be a few other dialogs that could benefit from similar treatment, so feel free to make suggestions. (I also added a shortcut in the Revert dialog, though I don't suppose that's used nearly so often.)

You can use the <TAB> or arrow keys to highlight the button to press
In that case, if you want "Don't Save", press <TAB>+<SPACE>

No need to deal with semantic shortcuts, no need to bother with translation.

But, I do not remember if it is default behavior or if it is tied to some preference (Universal Access?)
The only thing I remember is that it is related to the "key view cycle" which is automatically built in not so recent recent systems.
