"Set input focus on confirmation button by default."
except for undo-able deletions ? An accidental whack of ok in writer's
"are you sure you want to delete this header" cannot be undone.
Maybe also worth mentioning in the guide that a label for a widget
should specify what it labels by turning on "use_underline" and picking
the target widget for "mnemonic_widget". That sets up default
accessibility relations between the two widget so there's no need to go
near those a11y relations for this usual case.
But if a non-label widget like a GtkCheckButton is being used in place
of a label then the a11y "Label For" and "Labelled By" properties can
be used to describe what's going on.
