Hi, I do (try to) use most dialogs with the keyboard (limited sensation in my fingers make mice and especially touchpads less useful to me).
Correct handling of focus, tab-traversal and so on is also important for accessibility reasons, as well as being indicative of a coherent UI in general. It's pretty annoying to be able to fill in almost all of a dialog, but have controls fail to work at random. Especially a dialog with multiple fields, you don't want to force users to a "hover+key to invoke, type, move mouse, click, type, enter" workflow, when you could have a "hover+key, type, tab, type, enter" workflow - you forced a hand to the mouse AND back which should be entirely avoidable.
