Great tips Mike, but be careful of one of these. Depending on where a user has the dock positioned, (left, right or bottom of the screen) the arrow used to open the folder will be different. I.E. When the dock is on the left, the right arrow will open the folder; when it's on the right, the left arrow will open the folder. -And, as you say, when it's on the bottom of the screen, the up arrow will open the folder. -The rule of thumb is that the arrow that points to the middle of the screen will open the folder.
Personally, I just find it easier to either use VO space or enter. -And, if I want a context menu, I just use VO shift M.

VO+shift+m on the doc icon that you wish to act upon 2. Make sure that folder and list are checked and be sure that stacks or fan are not After you do this you should find that pressing an up-arrow on these icons will present you a list of whatever is in that particular folder.
