OS X bonus feature: Direct Directory Access shortcut

Thursday, Nov 29, 2001

I was playing with OS X this morning and stumbled on a really nice feature: With a Finder window active, pressing Command-` will bring up a sheet where you can type in a pathname (in Unix format: '/Users/kfox/Documents/' and hit return and it'll switch the window to that directory. What's more it also has nifty auto-completion features to make it even easier.

This is going to be one of my most oft-used shortcuts. I'd include a screen shot, but I'd have to get out and boot up my laptop, and I'm a little busy today. Maybe tonight, or maybe Benjy will do it when he reads this. (nudge ;-)

If you like it, please share it.
