Enter key to open files?

[Samslice12]

Hey,

Being a PC user all my life, I'm just wondering is there a way to set up your Mac so that pressing the enter key will open files because this is what I am used to doing on a PC. It gets kind of annoying because every time I open a file I end up renaming it accidently. Is there a way to open files with the enter key or is it just something that I'll have to live with?

It's just something to live with. Command-O is the keyboard shortcut to open files.

Cmd+down also works and I find it more efficient when navigating file hierarchies.

When I first switched I was constantly renaming files when I wanted to open however I got used to it pretty quickly.

yeah, get used to it, it's pretty quick to learn and getting used.

I can't believe I did not know that. Thanks.
