Command-Click in Finder Window to get Path
One of our favorite sites, Lifehacker, posted a Mac tip today about including the Path button in Finder windows: “One of my main complaints about Mac’s Finder versus Windows Explorer is the inability to move up and down a folder tree easily. However, Finder’s Path button lets you do just that. The Path button isn’t included on the Finder toolbar by default, but you can add it by Ctrl-clicking and choosing “Customize Toolbar.” Then drag and drop the Path button – which kind of looks like a staircase – onto the toolbar. From there, use it to see where you are in the folder tree, and move up to enclosing folders in a click.”
Great tip, except there is an easier way. Just Command-Click on the Finder window’s titlebar to get the same path. This trick also works in some other applications too. Try it out!
you’d really think that the people over at LifeHacker would have known this considering its been a part of the Mac OS for as long as I can remember, what a bunch of goofs!
maybe theyre just new to Mac? Switchers are often smart but don’t know all the secrets the long-time faithfuls know.
In the Finder
Command + Up = Go Up One Level
Command + Left Bracket = Go Back
Command + Right Bracket = Go Forward
ha ha, i knew this tip and its very usefull and i think better than win explorer, as i work on both platforms (i have to) i use both of them every single day and finder is much better app than explorer ever be. cmd+click title bar is best way to find where you are plus i can use cmd+3 and see everything clealry. i agree with debacle : they are new to mac
