On Windows, pressing enter when you highlight on a folder in Windows Explorer will open that folder.
On OSX, pressing enter when you highlight a folder edits the folder's name (like F2 in Windows).
Is there a keyboard shortcut to do the same thing on Windows, so that you'll open the folder? It doesn't have to be enter, but I'd like to know if there's another hotkey that does it.
The reason why I ask is because I like to navigate through deep folder structures by using the arrow keys for navigation and enter to drill down into them.
