Without an app
- Open: Select the file, and press CommandO or Command▼. Or double-click it.
- Rename: Select the file, and press Return.
macOS has no setting to make Return open files. CommandO is easy to learn. Supercharge is for when your fingers expect Enter to open, like when you also use Windows.
