There's also menu item in the Finder menu - you know, that thing on the upper edge of the screen - Go | Go to folder... and it also gives away the secret hotkey.

- johnwalkr 5y agoIt does fail on discoverability but there is a great feature of MacOS to compensate. The help->search function (shortcut key: Command-shift-/).
