I upgraded to Ventura recently after using High Sierra for a very long time. I'm noticing a few things here and there I don't like so much and want to change. Text edit seems to have been messed with in a mostly unwelcome way. I was able to fix the thing where instead of opening a document when you open the app, it instead opens a file prompt, however now I also want to close a document without saving (or even by saving for that matter), and avoid using the mouse. I definitely used to be able to quit without saving using keyboard only, can't remember about saving although that would also be good.
At the moment, in text edit, if you cmd+Q or cmd+w to quit the app or close a document, you're prompted to save it or delete it, which is good, but pressing tab to go through available options on the save prompt to select the 'delete' option is seemingly no longer possible. For some reason, the newly integrated combo box for choosing a tag for the save file seems to stop the tab selection process in its tracks as you can now only either shift focus between the filename text field, or this drop down list of tags and can't get past them without reaching for the mouse. I guess if I was happy with the default save location I could press return at this point and save the document, but if I don't want to save or I want to change any other parameters in the save prompt, I have to use the mouse. Seems like a minor complaint I know, but it just didn't use to be a problem and I tend to resent new problems that didn't exist before but have been introduced.
