Quick Tip: Opening a file / parent directory in Finder by keyboard
Opening a file in Finder is pretty simple…if you know, how to do it. Especially switchers try to use the enter/return key. But this will only let you rename the file, instead of opening it.
While in Finder, press either command-down arrow or command-O. Both keyboard shortcuts work equally well, use the one that is more comfortable to you.
Command-down arrow will also open folders, so you can drill down a folder structure, using this keyboard shortcut. Command-up arrow will let you go to the parent directory of the current file or folder.
