Gen ius Bar, or the Apple Support Communities.the Finder, how do you jump to see the item
in the context of its enclosing folder rather
than just opening the file?
The answer is simple: hold down
Command and press the Return key or
press Command-R. You can also hold
down Command and double-click the item
in the results list.
Holding down Command by itself
reveals the path to the file or folder without
opening the enclosing folder.
You may already know one more: press
Command-Option-spacebar, and a Finder
window opens with the focus on the
search field so you can just start typing. ■
