The most perplexing one that stands out in recent memory is in the file explorer, where pressing Enter doesn't open the selected item, but begins a rename operation.

Remember, on a Mac it's not an Enter key, it's a Return key. It's not used to enter a file.
On Windows, you use Ctrl-O to open a file from within an open program.
On a Mac, you use Cmd-O to open everything from everywhere; it's a universal (within Apple) convention applied consistently.
