rhuOK, all you Mac geniuses.
I just installed Finale 2009, and I've discovered that while on the PC the enter key could be used to add a note to a chord in speedy entry, on the Mac the fine folks atCoda MakeMusic have decided that the enter key on the keyboard shall move to the next staff (which on the PC was shift-down-arrow, which on the Mac goes to the next layer.... but I digress). Yet the list of keyboard shortcuts says that "Enter" can be used to add a note, while (swirly icon that I assume means "return") goes to the next staff.
Experimenting here at work with my external keyboard I find that Finale distinguishes between the enter/return key and the numeric keypad "enter" key. It's the latter that does what I want. But there's no numeric keypad on the MacBook Pro, apparently. I just figured out that fn+return does what I want, but it'll be a pain to need both hands for this common command.
So: is there a way to configure the Mac to make the "return" key generate "enter" instead without using the "fn" key?

Try using keyboard remap...
