Jump the cursor to the default button in Mavericks?

Question

Does anyone know of a way to jump the cursor to the default button in Mavericks? I found a third-party product called Steer Mouse, but it's $20 and that seems high for a one trick pony.
Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy with setButtonIcons because it forces you to specify rollover and disabled icons, for instance. So it doesn't help if you just want the default grey filtered icons when disabled. Also, you can't just subclass JUNavigationBar either since most of what you need is private. We took the brute force approach and just copied the JUNaviationBar source and modified it.
Basically, just create a new class with the same source as JUNavigationBar and replace the private icon filename strings to your icon file names:
public class NavigationBar
    extends JToolBar
    implements ActionListener, RowSetListener, JUNavigationBarInterface, JUTransactionStateListener
  private static final String BUTTON_FIRST_ICON = "first.png";
  private static final String BUTTON_PREV_ICON = "single_arrow_left.png";
  private static final String BUTTON_NEXT_ICON = "single_arrow_right.png";
  private static final String BUTTON_LAST_ICON = "last.png";
  private static final String BUTTON_INSERT_ICON = "add.png";
  private static final String BUTTON_DELETE_ICON = "delete.png";
  private static final String BUTTON_COMMIT_ICON = "save.png";
  private static final String BUTTON_ROLLBACK_ICON = "refresh.png";
  private static final String BUTTON_FIND_ICON = "find_next.png";
  private static final String BUTTON_EXECUTE_ICON = "query.png";
...We also modified some calls in the class' constructor during button setup that made the toolbar not floatable and various other things.
Hope this helps.
