What a developer-centric point of view. I can kinda see the merit of the argument from a competitive sense, but from an end-user sense, it reads like: "it's great that they left features out so that other people could develop them and then charge for them."

What a developer-centric point of view. I can kinda see the merit of the argument from a competitive sense, but from an end-user sense, it reads like: “it’s great that they left features out so that other people could develop them and then charge for them.”

Oddly enough, you can only focus on it <em>with</em> the keyboard, which is why it's so hard to find out—while you have a folder (any folder) open, hit tab (or shift-tab) repeatedly until the folder name changes from the light blue of "selected but unfocused" to the dark blue of "selected <em>and</em>focused". (Adjust as necessary depending on your color scheme.) You will then be able to control the folder list as you might expect—up and down will navigate it, right and left will open subfolder, etc. Hope this helps!
