Not working at all it seems. I tried single key, with CTRL, Option, Command or FN to no avail.

we hit keys on the keyboard :D :D

mostly, there is a default button which can be activated by hitting enter. Or moving focus on buttons with arrow keys. Or use ESC for canceling.
I can't recall any software now that has keyboard combinations for buttons like CMD-C or so.

Mac keyboards have Shift, Control, Option and Command keys which can be used in combination with "real" keys.

Oh, strange, I have no idea. I always had them with XnViewMP on my System. Latest MacOS. But it would be great to have basic keyboard control of buttons (enter, esc).

Still irritating if with dark theme keyboard shortcuts are suggested but not working ;-)

btw: menu item shows "explorer" to open files on desktop. but it is called finder on MacOS. Maybe just say "Open on desktop". I would really add "Open in" as it is unclear what "explorer" actually does. Especially on a Mac :-)

Right, 'Explorer'. So 'Open in explorer' or 'open in Finder'?

Open in Finder on MacOS since there is no "Explorer" as mentioned earlier.

its better to use 'Show in file manager' universal name for this command, which:
- suits any OS (File explorer in win, Finder in Mac, etc)
- uses correct term, show instead of open (app opens file manager and only selects file)
