As title says, is there a hotkey to execute a .app package from within Path Finder? If you double-click/tap on a .app, Path Finder navigates into its package content. Is this maybe a setting that can be changed, if so, where?
I found out that (using OSX 10.7 Lion) it's possible to use spacebar while selecting a .app and then press 'open .app' at the top-right corner.
It's the Show Package Contents option on the View menu that leads to packages (including application bundles) being displayed and treated as folders:
If you want to keep this behavior, and are still running Finder, you can do the following:
Open Path Finder » Set Menu Keys… and navigate to the Commands » Open With… » Running » Finder menu item. Press Cmd-Ctrl-1 or any other shortcut you want to use for this. Press it to run a selected application even with Show Package Contents checked by "opening" it via Finder.
You could also create a simple "Launcher" application e.g. in Automator that receives an path to an .app as argument and opens it. Then you don't need to keep Finder running. Setting up a keyboard shortcut in Path Finder works just like with Finder, except you don't choose the entry from the running applications list.
