If you find yourself in a situation where you need to open Finder using just your keyboard or you just prefer using keyboard shortcuts, then pressing Command and N will open a new Finder window on Mac. If you’re currently in a different application, you will need to press Command and Tab to cycle through your open applications until Finder is active. Having opened your Finder window, you can use your arrow keys to navigate your folders. Press the Command and Down Arrow to view the contents of a folder and the Command and Up Arrow to return to the parent folder. Pressing Command and either one, two, three or four, will cycle through your different view options. Command and T will open a new tab in your active Finder Window, and use the Control and Tab keys to cycle through your different tabs.
To open additional Finder windows keep pressing Command and N and then press Command and the tilde key (which is the one just beneath the Escape key) to cycle through those different Finder windows.

I'm a user of Spaces on Mac, and one gripe I've had over many years is that, if you open the Finder by clicking on the icon in the Dock...and there happened to be a Finder window already open in a different Space, then OSX would automatically (and incredibly annoyingly) 'transport' you over to the other Space. It drives me nuts. But using the technique in the video with keyboard shortcuts, it fixes the issue. Thanks! 👏

Oh that would be hugely annoying! Good to know the keyboard shortcut is a workaround - thanks for sharing! 👍
