Is there a keyboard shortcut for 'Open file location' within Windows Search?

Question

Here's what I want to do:

1. Hit Windows.
2. Type in a search for a file.
3. Select the file (arrow keys).
4. Open the file's containing folder without right-clicking (like in Spotlight with Command + Enter).

Answer 1

You could use the menu button on your keyboard, assuming you have one. Replacing your step 4 with the following has what I think is the desired effect:

1. Menu
2. Arrow keys to "Open File Location" option. Update: Or just press i - see comments.
3. Enter

Now, it's hardly a shortcut, but since you're arrowing to the file maybe this isn't too much of an additional chore compared to having to mouse as well?

Answer 2

Not really a native Windows shortcut, but I do this all the time with Launchy. It allows you to open any location anytime by just typing:

1. Alt+Space
2. Type Address
3. Enter
