WinKeybinds is a native Apple Silicon reimplementation of PresButan by Brian Kendall, a simple macOS utility adding Windows-style keyboard shortcuts to Finder that had not been updated since 2012. WinKeybinds was built from scratch using Claude Code with Opus 4.6 and based on reverse-engineering of the original binary. No original PresButan source code was used.
- Return / Enter opens selected items in Finder (like double-click)
- Delete / Forward Delete moves selected items to the Trash
- Each key can be individually enabled or disabled
- Runs silently in the background with no Dock icon or menu bar
- Supports importing settings from the original PresButan
- Ctrl+Cmd+Delete quits the app
Download WinKeybinds.app from
Releases and move it to /Applications.
Since the app is not notarized, macOS will block it on first launch. Right-click the app and choose Open, then click Open in the dialog. This only needs to be done once.

WinKeybinds requires Accessibility access to intercept keyboard events in Finder. You'll be prompted to grant this on first launch:
WinKeybinds runs invisibly — no Dock icon, no menu bar. To quit it, press Ctrl+Cmd+Delete in Finder, or use Activity Monitor.
Open WinKeybinds.xcodeproj in Xcode and build, or from the command line:
