I'd like to add my point of view on this one, as I don't find it is a good 
idea. I haven't (yet) seen editors¹ using cursor navigation to open files but 
require pressing the `Enter` key to confirm a voluntary act (so I assume). It's 
easy to involuntarily open a file because keyboard ergonomics is extremely 
variable and you can easily miss a key. Whereas the `Enter` (or `Return`) key 
is significantly larger than a regular key (most of the time, or at least it 
has a distinct shape or size that make it easily recognisable). While no damage 
can result from expanding a folder/directory in a tree view, opening a file by 
accident is not no innocuous, so be careful with that axe, Eugene.

¹ I must also confess I only know a small portion of the entire offer.
