Is there a Windows keyboard shortcut that can be used to navigate to a specific folder? On a Mac, the “command + shift + g” shortcut opens the folder path and takes the user to the designated folder.
Is there a similar shortcut in Windows?

To navigate to a specific path in an explorer window, use the F4 key to move the cursor to the address bar and highlight it. Then, type in the desired path and hit enter to navigate to that location. The down arrow key can be used to access recently typed paths.
Additionally, programs can be launched from the address bar by typing their name after pressing F4. For example, typing “cmd” after pressing F4 will launch a command prompt in the current location. This can also be accessed quickly by pressing the down arrow key, especially if it’s a task that is frequently performed.
