- Command-up-arrow: This moves you up one level. So, in my example, in a folder on the Desktop, pressing these keys moves me to the Desktop itself.
- Command-down-arrow: This moves you into a folder. If I were on the Desktop, and selected a folder, pressing these keys would open that folder. And if you've found the file you want to open, pressing Command-down-arrow opens the file; it's the same as double-clicking it.
- Command-right-arrow and Command-left-arrow: When in List view, this opens or closes a folder without switching to a new level. Select a folder and press Command-right-arrow and the folder expands to show its contents; press Command-left-arrow to hide the folder's contents.
- Right-arrow and left-arrow: In Column view, these keys alone, with no modifier keys, move you up and down the file system, from column to column. Visually, you're moving horizontally, but figuratively, you're moving up and down.
- Back button and Forward button: At the top left of each dialog, you see back and forward buttons. These work like in a web browser, taking you back through folders you've viewed, or moving you forward if you've already moved back.
- Command-F: This activates the Search field. You can search for files to open, or for folders to store your documents in. To exit the Search field, press the Esc key.
