Filling out forms in Safari 1.2: Aqua buttons briefly highlighted in blue when using the Return or Enter key

In the recently released Safari 1.2, when you fill out a form, if you activate the “Submit” button (or whatever it’s called) by hitting the Return or Enter key rather than using the mouse to click on the actual button on the screen, there is a short visual effect that highlights the button in blue for a fraction of a second, in order to indicate visually that your button activation has been registered.
It’s a nice little touch, which confirms that at least some people at Apple are still paying attention to small, yet important details.
What Mac OS X really needs is more consistency in the attention to details across all applications and all aspects of the operating system.
