i have a simple question about the use of the tab button when a window pops up with 2 selections, such as the example above. when i hit the tab button, a blue selection outline will jump over to the other button, in this case, "Add", but if i hit return, it'll still select "Don't Add". this makes the tab pretty useless. what do i need to do so that i can select the other button without my hands leaving the keyboard to go to the mouse? thanks.
 
Hmmm... Maybe you can use Apple-A? I wanted to test this on my computer, but, funny thing is, it looks different here (15.5.5):

(Sorry, just saw that you wanted to ADD an extension, but I tried to CHANGE one... That'll explain the difference.)

The blue button means if you hit enter, it will be selected (the default choice). To choose the option with the blue outline, press the space bar. I do that all the time.
