Yes, I was aware that there's a preference to enable this, but I don't see that as an answer to the issue. It's not enabled by default, and I don't expect most users even know it exists; and as Bruno notes, it has much more wide-ranging effects across the entire system. Personally, I like having a shortcut available for "Don't Save" when I'm closing a "throwaway" window; but I do NOT want to change the default behavior of TAB in windows and dialogs everywhere.
