On Mac, you open file with ⌘ + O. Opens the Open-file dialog. It sits in the Everyday Essentials group and is one of the Mac shortcuts people look up most, so it is worth committing to memory — it works the same way across almost every app that follows standard Mac conventions.
Open the app or screen where you want to open file.
Press ⌘ + O.
Opens the Open-file dialog.
