Something that's been bothering me for a while is that the <enter> button is "rename" rather than "open". Not only is this inconvenient (I have to hit apple-o to open the program) it just non nonsensical to have it this way. Anybody have any idea why it's done this way and how I might go about changing it? Thanks a million! Trevor
The command+o to open programs makes sense if you think about it this way... all the file commands on a mac start with the command key cmd+c = copy cmd+v = paste cmd+x = cut cmd+delete = move to trash cmd+i = file info if you look at it that way it is quite consistant
Is it nonsensical for any reason other than it's not what you're used to in some other operating system?
Instead of insisting that OS X does it "right," I'm going to try to help you change it... Go to System Preferences and type "Keyboard shortcuts" in the search field and press Return/Enter. This will bring up a list of shortcuts that you can configure to your liking.
If he wanted to be really cool he could make it CMD + OPT + ALT + SHIFT + DEL + O + Z As a side note, this is moderately related to this discussion.
That's the cool part - you have to release that key and then press it again without releasing the other keys in order to trigger the command.
