The only UI difference I find truly maddening is the inability to open a terminal in the current folder. On other operating systems, I can right click in the empty space to open a terminal in that directory; on macOS, I must instead right click on a subfolder, open a terminal in that subfolder, and then navigate up one directory (`cd ..`)...
...unless the current folder contains no folders, in which case I have to navigate up one directory (via keyboard shortcut -- this cannot be done natively in Finder) and then right click on the target folder (especially annoying if the parent folder contains many directories).
I can only assume that I'm misinformed because the current paradigm makes no goddamn sense.
- ubercow13 4y agoYeah its annoying. If you enable the pathbar status bar thing in finder, you can right click the current folder which is always visible there and launch the terminal. However if the folder has no contents there is still no way to do it with the keyboard I think.
- panda-giddiness 4y agoThanks!
- timeon 4y agoIt would be better if you could do it that way but your workflow surprise me a bit. Maybe it is because I use column view in finder so folder and sub-folder are both one click. I use mac because I like (Next/Open/Gnu)Step so maybe that is why things are more intuitive for me.
