In windows when you hit enter on a selected file, the file opens up. How do I do this in OS X? When I hit enter on a file, OS X goes into rename mode. I bet there is a way to use a keyboard to open a file, just donno how.

I was sort of assuming something like this should be very obvious in a mac, but still couldn't figure out. Thanks in advance.
