Try hitting the "S" key for Sleep, or thr "R" for Restart and of 
course, the Escape key for Cancel. And another tip I just learned--when 
there are two buttons highlighted, one of which is "fully" highlighted 
to trigger by the Return key and the other is only slightly 
highlighted, hitting the spacebar triggers that one. Hope that made 
sense.
