States and behavior

Edited content/name and a real UTF-8 text download request.

Keyboard

Tab reaches Save; Space or Enter requests the download. Destination prompts follow browser settings.

The browser may download immediately or ask for a destination. A download request is not proof a file was saved. For overwrite confirmation, persistent paths and native Save As, use a host adapter.
