Then try F4, HOME, ENTER. Three keystrokes, but at least you don't 
have to mouse it.

The mapping of F4 to the LOOK IN dropdown list in the File Open 
dialog is actually something a violation of the UI conventions for 
the use of F4, which is supposed to drop down the currently selected 
dropdown list. If you move the focus to the FILES OF TYPE dropdown 
list, F4 works as expected there. But the different behaviors for F4 
here as compared to other contexts is something of a problem, in my 
opinion.
