How to open folder without using mouse in Mac?

I'm recently switched to Mac from Windows. It was quite a pain but I am now adjusted to the Mac commands and shortcuts, except one. That is whenever I select a folder and press Return/Enter it executes the rename. While I was expecting it to open it?

Is there any way I can change the shortcut?


To open it, you can use two keyboard shortcut

  1. +O
  2. +

I use Command plus the or arrow keys.


As well, you can also use Command+Shift+G while Finder is active and type the path of the folder you want to open in the box that appears. ie:

~/Pictures

will open your Pictures folder.
