I use the Show Desktop feature quite often, but I find it a bit annoying that I always have to click on the blank space on the desktop before being able to control it with my keyboard (i.e. finding a folder by entering the first character and opening it with Cmd+O).
Is there a shortcut or some other keyboard-based way to select the Desktop/Finder?
I know that it is possible to switch between apps by Cmd+Tab but it will open a new Finder window instead of just selecting the Desktop, which is what I am looking for.
