Assign key to default button option when shown information message in vscode extension?

I am creating an extension in VSCode that will close all open text documents when you click the option "Yes" in the vscode.window.showInformationMessage("Want to close?", "Yes", "No).

Pressing the "Yes" button will work fine but I want the "Enter" key on the keyboard to do the same? How can I listen for keystrokes when I register a command? Is it possible?

Here is my code right now:

  context.subscriptions.push(
    vscode.commands.registerCommand(
      "close-tabs",
      async (inputValue?: string) => {
        const { activeTextEditor } = vscode.window;

        if (!activeTextEditor) {
          vscode.window.showInformationMessage("No active text editor");
          return;
        }

        const answer = await vscode.window.showInformationMessage("Want to close tabs?", "Yes", "No");

        if (answer === "Yes") {
          vscode.commands.executeCommand("openEditors.closeAll");
        }
        // ON_ENTER: I was thinking an if case here that checks if enter has been pressed and also executes the command above? 
      }
    )
  );

To reiterate. How can I choose the "Yes" option when pressing the "Enter" key?

Since your InformationMessage box is not modal, it doesn't get focus when it appears.

I'm afraid you would have to make it modal - which in your case might be acceptable - to get the behaviour you want:

const answer = await vscode.window.showInformationMessage("Want to close tabs?", { modal: true }, "Yes", "No");

Then the message box's first button is automatically given focus and Enter will trigger it.
