Want To Use The Tab Key To Toggle Between Cancel and Delete Options

About a year ago, I was able to use my tab key to toggle between the 2 choices when deleting files or folders. I don't remember what I did to get this feature to work. Then about 3 months ago, I rebuilt my machine from scratch so I no longer have this ability. Does anyone know how to get this to work? I like using keyboard modifiers like this so I don't have to use the mouse for every little thing.

Keyboard System Preferences, Shortcuts tab. Use keyboard navigation to move focus between controls.
