Easily remap and create customized keyboard layouts
Authored by: jagboy on Jun 30, '05 08:14:53PM

You can hit Apple + O to open files in the finder.
Remapping the Enter or Return key would result in your Keyboard being unable to be used in all other programs that require it (e.g. Word, TextEdit, XCode, ...)

What you can however do I think is: Go to Systemprefs -> Keyboard & Mouse and then Keyboard-Shortcuts, Click the + and then assign a key for application Finder to open a file (e.g. the Clearscreen button above the 7 on the numpad)

good luck

Easily remap and create customized keyboard layouts

to jagboy:

Can you tell me of a use of the "enter" key in
TextEdit that cannot already by handled by
the "return" key? I am very curious about
this because I want to use the "enter" key
as follows in a text editor:


Put the ibeam somewhere in the text.
Make no selection.
Press the "enter" key, nothing else.
A piece of AppleScript goes into action.


I posted on this topic at:

If you or anyone else reading this topic has
any advice on how to get the "enter" key
to work this way in a text editor, please
post here.

Thank you,

Roger Purves
