In all other versions of MacOS that supported column view, the left and right
arrow keys with no modifier would switch you to the next or previous column,
not really opening the folder, but moving focus into the column. I heard that
in Bigsir that tab and shift tab do this, which is not as convenient but might
be more logical.
Best wishes,
