Im so happy I found this. That was frustrating the heck out of me that it wasn’t in a context menu… such a simple way too…

This is the greatest thing I’ve learn on OSX lately. Well in fact I just thought “Hey, it would could if I could open a folder in a new window (tab in the future?) like I do on Firefox”.
This page is the first search result Google found, and it does the job! Thanks :)
