Even though I virtually never use those two OSes, non-computer things in
life have ingrained it into my head that yes is on the right and no is on
the left. Almost 50% of the time I subconsciously click the wrong button
in a Windows dialog box because I expect OK to be on the right. "Do you
want to save this?" "Yes, oh no, I pressed cancel!"

There must be some utility I can use to swap these buttons over?


Don’t have an answer — but used to be on Linux there were dialogs almost
the exact same but with the buttons reversed. It was insane.

I'm there now. +1

Also the save or ok buttons are not always on the same side.

It is truly insane.

I'd prefer that, because 50% of the time I'd get the right button. In Windows I get it wrong every time.
