1. Press Enter to navigate to the folder.
2. To view the contents of the folder, you can use the ls command to list the files and directories in the current directory. For example:

This will open the file file.txt in the default application for that file type.

Note: If the folder or file you want to open is not in the current directory, you will need to specify the full path to the folder or file in the cd or open command. For example:

1

cd /home/user/Documents/Important

1

open /home/user/Downloads/report.pdf
