If you want to apply this to every Button in your program you can subclass the JavaFX-Button and bind this in the constructor. In your fxml-File you'll need to include your custom Button.

I wrote the following subclass:

public class FocusedButton extends javafx.scene.control.Button {

    public FocusedButton ( ) {
        super ( );
        bindFocusToDefault ( );
    }

    public FocusedButton ( String text ) {
        super ( text );
        bindFocusToDefault ( );
    }

    public FocusedButton ( String text, Node graphic ) {
        super ( text, graphic );
        bindFocusToDefault ( );
    }

    private void bindFocusToDefault ( ) {
        defaultButtonProperty().bind(focusedProperty());
    }

}

To use this Code you will need to include your custom class in the fxml-File:

If you want to use the Scene Builder things get a little bit more difficult: You'll need to export your custom Button in a jar-file and add this to Scene Builder as described here
