10.6: Finder-like keyboard navigation in Stacks

As you may recall, in 10.5 you could navigate Stacks via the keyboard and open Stack items in the background. I'm thrilled that both of these hints still work in 10.6, and that there are some new keyboard behaviors available.

In 10.6, inside an open Stack, you can now dig into a selected folder by pressing Return (or Command-O or Command-Down Arrow) to view the contents of a folder, and then press Command-Up Arrow to go back to the enclosing folder in the Stack. Pressing Command-Return opens the enclosing folder in a Finder window (and add the Option key to open it in the background).
