it's kind of hard to explain. when I want to cycle through windows I use command-tilde. when I want to open folders as I'm navigating to my desired destination, that's when I use command-option-down arrow for open and command-option-uparrow for close. I'm in list mode. I'll have one window already open in say, downloads. then I'll cycle to another window say in my external hard drive. once I'm in there I need to navigate to the folder where I'm going to copy or paste a file from downloads. sometimes I have to go 2 or 3 deep to get to the desired folder. then as I would cycle back through the windows heading for downloads, I would hit every window I had to open to get to the desired folder. I wanted to find a way of reducing the number of windows I had to cycle through. if I remember to use command-option-down arrow as I'm navigating, that seems to do the trick.
