>I know, because I have googled it. Here's the suggested solution: Sigh. You just copied the in-line Google result page summary to me. Did you even click that link and read the other three ways to do this? One of which is just two right-clicks. It's not a single keyboard shortcut or menu option like Windows/Explorer out of the box, but a power user could also make that happen and could even map it to Cmd-L if they wanted. Probably takes 5 minutes to solve once and forever. But nope, the OS is dumbed down and not customizable at all, right? This is exactly why these point-by-point reply chains between operating system differences are a waste of time. If it's not exactly the same as what you already know, you're not interested.

They took longer than 5 minutes to develop. I want to spend my time tweaking in-depth parts of the UI, not very basic features that exist already in another. OSX being dumbed down is a feature, if you want to sync your podcasts it's a great system for it.

Add another 20 seconds to go configure your Keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences and someone who's actually a power user can make this happen in about 40 seconds. 5 minutes was being generous to a novice.

Sure, just like "Windows is a great system for playing games, but if you want to do real work, you use a Mac". See how stupid that sort of ignorance sounds?

    Much of the configuration in OSX is hidden, compared to Windows; some of this being a result of Window's dominance at the Enterprise level. That's why you need Terminal to Show Hidden Files. OSX has a different strength: simplicity. It's why I told my dad to buy one. What you paint here is a false equivalence.

      We can all cherry pick complaints. Try remapping your capslock as another control key on both systems and use that as a gauge for which OS hides settings.

    In Windows Explorer I can just copy the address bar and paste it into another window.
