It's not supposed to do the same thing. alt-enter closes vim:

* on a file it opens the file (in the same terminal if possible, depending on the system file opening) * on a directory it does a cd to that directory and comes back to the terminal (if broot was launched with the br command)

I'd like Mac users to chime in and answer you now: I can't really test on mac.

Alt-Enter, or more specifically Option-Enter doesn't work on macOS. It does the same thing as Enter, as pointed out above.

Good job btw, Broot looks awesome!

OK so we'll have to define another shortcut (which should already be doable with simple configuration).

No need to. The Option key is configurable in terminal software.

How about a ctrl-g shortcut to cd and exit to the directory on the file/dir highlighted?

EDIT: Found https://dystroy.org/broot/documentation/configuration/ and on macOS the config file is located at ~/Library/Preferences/org.dystroy.broot/conf.toml

So, how should one configure Broot to use a different shortcut to cd to a directory? Still not clear to me
