Yes To All

This Windows dialog box offers buttons for “Yes”, “Yes to All”, “No” and “Cancel”.

To get the obvious missing function – “No to All” – just shift-click “No”.

I can’t believe I’ve spent fifteen years wishing for a “No to All” button that was there all the time. I don’t understand why it’s not expressed more directly in the user interface: I’m all for simplicity, but a completely invisible feature, that the user has no chance to discover through use, might as well not be there.
