On Windows, I could use tab to shift focus from button to button, so I could "click" on the desired button without having to use a mouse.

It appears that I can't do the same thing on a Mac, or is there a way to do it that I didn't realize?

There is. From System Preferences, under Keyboard » Keyboard Shortcuts, you can enable Full Keyboard navigation. You can also change this by pressing Control+F7.

enter image description here

This allows you to tab between UI elements and select them with the Space key.

under Lion this is set by radio button "All controls" (ctrl + F7) or (fn + ctrl + F7) – udo Dec 29 '11 at 17:06
