Product Description:

PresButan lets you use the enter and/or return keys to open items in the Finder. As of version 1.2 it also lets you use either delete key to delete Finder items, if you really want it to.

What's new in this version:

Now a universal binary! By popular demand, I added feature for being able to delete items in the Finder by pressing either delete or forward delete, which I recommend people use with care. Also a bug where PresButan will stop working if the Finder crashes was fixed.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.4

Great, but... - Version: 1.0, 1/20/2005 06:31PM PST

This is a great idea (and I love the icon, BTW), but what I would find valuable is the option to have the contextual menu pop up with the selected icon, either when you hit the enter key or when you use control-enter. As far as I know there is no way to get to the contextual menu functions using the keyboard alone.

Works as advertised. Hitting the Return key instead of cmd-O is a bit of a time saver in the world of keystrokes - nice that someone is able to bring Windoze functionality to our poor, retarded OS... :D Only one serious flaw: the name of the file selected momentarily switches to editable when the return key is hit and then goes back to non-editable after about .25 seconds - if you hit any other keys during that little window you will rename the file. If the author can fix this I'd give it five stars.
