Opening file in VSCode Explorer using keyboard

Question

When I press Command+Shift+E (Mac) to set focus to the explorer in Visual Studio Code, I can navigate using the up and down keys to select a file, but I can't open the file in the editor. I can press Enter to rename it, but I couldn't find a way to open the file using the keyboard. Is there a way?

Answer 1

Correct shortcut to open a file is: CMD+down

Just for the record, this is the standard shortcut in any properly behaving OSX application, for example Finder.app (and it's the reason why Return/Enter renames a file)
