Open items in the enclosing folder directly from a Spotlight search

When viewing a list of results in a Spotlight search in the Finder, how do you jump to see the item in the context of its enclosing folder rather than just opening the file? The answer is simple.

Hold down Command and press the Return key or press Command-R. You can also hold down Command and double-click the item in the results list. Holding down Command by itself reveals the path to the file or folder without opening the enclosing folder.

You may already know this but if you press Command-Option-spacebar, a Finder window opens with the focus on the search field so you can just start typing.
