View & delete pictures on Mac

On Windows we can just double click image in a directory, use arrow keys to go to the next one and delete bad pictures with delete button. This isn't possible on MacOS, and it took me way too long to figure out a similiar workflow.

  1. Select all the pictures (⌘ + A)
  2. Open selected pictures with Preview (⌘ + O)
  3. Go to next/prev with up/down keys
  4. Delete (or move to bin but whatever) current picture with ⌘ + ⌫

That's it! I also created a Hammerspoon script to remap delete key, since ⌘ + ⌫ is pretty annoying to reach
