Things I Learned #9: More about Finder

This is another one that I should have learned a long time ago, but instead I learned about it today after Benji York on Mastodon read TIL #8 about using the Open command in the Mac terminal.

A post on Mastodon from @benjiyork@fosstodon.org

Unlike Windows Explorer, Finder doesn't offer an obvious way to paste in a path to easily change folders. Instead, there's a Go menu with several options for opening special folders like Desktop, Home, etc.

I learned there's an option for "Go to folder..." that brings up a pretty terrible dialog box to paste in a path.

This dialog can be accessed using Cmd-Shift-G.

The Finder Go To Folder dialog

As I said in my previous post, I've never used Finder much, but things like this make it a little more likely that I will use it more.

Thanks, Benji!
