Anybody have or know one that has these options?
This is what you want, the older version of the recently revised Pro BikeGear Team Digital floor pump by Shimano: https://www.amazon.com/PRO-Team-Digi.../dp/B06XVSGW5M

While the newest version was changed to a lever-lock head, the version linked above-- and which I have had for many years-- uses a push-on locking head. It's double-sided for presto and schraeder, and works reliably and easily with one hand. It takes a bit of thumb pressure to depress the top of the head as you pull it off, but it doesn't seem like much.

I like that the digital readout lights automatically and immediately displays air pressure, which is easy and great for checking. Just having a lighted display is great, and makes reading gauge easy in any conditions.

It's a quality, heavy, steel built pump in the base and cylinder, with a nice wooden handle and sensible pressure hose routing and mounting. The CR2032 coin cell lasts a really long time, like years.

I've been very happy with mine, and done no maintenance other than one battery change; it's been perfect and trouble-free for several years, the exact number I don't recall, but maybe something like 7 years now. I dunno.
