When using Sublime Text 2 we tend to open the side bar to navigate thru files/folders in our projects. For that we can use the hotkey ctrl+k ctrl+b (in windows).

However, once we're in the side bar, we can't use it with keyboard (arrows for instance). We have to stick using it with our own mouse...

Just a note: I installed SideBarEnhancements plugin, but I didn't find anything that could solve my problem.

Any solution you might know?

You can type Ctrl+0 (Ctrl+Zero) to focus on the side bar.

Then you'll be able to move selection among files with arrow keys and to open the selected file hitting Enter, without touching the mouse.
