Unable to open file or folder with keyboard #10008
Description
Currently you can navigate the file list via keyboard, with 3 Tab-clicks per row:
- Folder/file itself
- Sharing that folder/file
- 3-dot menu of that folder/file
Now the problem is that pressing enter on the folder/file itself opens the right sidebar instead of opening it. We need to change it to opening, otherwise it is not possible to enter into folders or open files.

@jancborchardt didn't we said we'll add this for 15?
With the new files app?

@skjnldsv since changing this is such a small change but a really important accessibility fix to use files at all, we should absolutely do it for 14.
I mean, I assume it’s a small change cause it’s just switching from opening sidebar to opening the file.

Also related is what @kevgathuku mentioned in #9994 (comment)

Of course, i would be grateful if it could be done for 14.

@tyrylu the fix is in #10310, if you want to review :) It will make it into Nextcloud 14! 🎉
