A neat trick to navigate with Finder

Share

It’s an old tip originally published back in 2006, but it’s still relevant today in 2020 with macOS 10.15.

One of my former co-workers taught me this neat trick – while using Finder, move your mouse cursor over the “title” of the current folder you’re viewing

Hold down the Apple Key and click the title – the whole path is revealed and you can jump to a folder by selecting it.

  • MacUser - I agree 100%

    I posted it after someone showed me, and my exact reaction was "pretty cool, but I'll never use it". And in truth I don't. But I really like finding 'little things' like this in OS X. In fact one of the reasons I like OS X so much is that you can use it for ages and STILL find little things like this all the time.

  • It's neat to know that (I didn't) but I doubt I would ever use it. I might use if, if I had a finder window which the destination wasn't known to me. That rarely happens so I just push ? + ^
