Original Summary

If you came to the Mac from Windows, you know this one. You select a file in Finder, press Return to open it, and Finder starts renaming it instead. You press Delete and nothing happens, because Finder wants ⌘ + Delete. For years the fix was a little app called PresButan. Its last update was in 2012, and the old build finally stopped working on macOS 27. So I wrote a replacement from scratch in Swift and called it PresButan Reborn . What it does, in Finder only: Return opens the selection Delete moves it to the Trash Shift + Delete deletes it for good (Finder still asks first) Everything else is untouched. It lives in the menu bar, no Dock icon, and you can hide the menu bar icon too. The hard part wasn't the remapping, it was knowing when to stay out of the way. If you're renaming a file or typing in the search field, Return has to behave normally, so it checks through the Accessibility API whether a text field has focus, and does nothing if it can't tell. Spotlight, Raycast and Alfred were sneakier: they grab the keyboard without Finder stopping being the frontmost app, so it also checks who owns the focused element before touching a key. It's free and GPL-3.0, signed and notarized, macOS 13 or later. It needs the Accessibility permission (that's how macOS lets an app see key presses). Keystrokes never leave your Mac. The only network request is a daily "is there a new version?" check on GitHub. About the video: it's an animation I made of Finder, not a screen recording. The keys do exactly what it shows. Code and download: github.com/adrbn/presbutan-reborn I'm the dev, happy to answer anything. If it gets in your way somewhere, I'd really like to know where.   submitted by   /u/GoldianSummer [link]   [comments]
