  I've probably been using Fetch since System 7. On the old (classic) version of Fetch, you could scroll through a directory listing using the up and down arrow keys. When you came across a directory, you could press the return key to open that directory. Today, when I highlight a file and press the return key, I get the option to rename the folder. I'm not totally against this functionality, as it is reminiscent of the functionality of the Finder. I would, however, like to have a keyboard shortcut to open a directory. Command-O attempts to open a document, which I find kind of odd. Does anybody know if there is a keyboard shortcut to open a directory?

  Hi,

  Yes, there is. Typing Command-Down arrow opens a directory.

  (And to go back up to the parent directory, you can type Command-Up arrow.)

  You guess correctly that we changed the keyboard shortcuts such that Return allows you to rename an item, like the Finder. And in fact, in the Finder, Command-Down arrow opens a folder - so Fetch matches it there, too.

  Please let us know if you have further questions.

  Thanks,

  Scott McGuire
