Shift+Command+G doesn't seem particularly strenuous. Admittedly, you need to work to learn the shortcut, but like all shortcuts, once you've got it it costs nothing.
[edit] it's Shift+Command+H for the home directory, which you were targeting specifically, Shift+Command+G lets you type in the path to any directory (with tab completion)
- jfroma 12y agoYes, I use that a lot but something I miss from Windows Explorer is that i can actually copy the path. The widespread suggestion is that you can drag and drop the icon in the title but I prefer the other thing.
- kagamine 12y agoIirc you used to be able to have the path visible at the bottom of the finder window but like so many things in OSX you have to set it to visible in the View or settings menu. I'm at work on a Winbox right now, anyone want to confirm this?
- jfroma 12y agoYes, you can see it, but you can't select it and copy it.
- nl 12y agoI miss that from Windows/Ubuntu too. You can setup an OSX service to let you do it[1]. Doesn't really work for network shares through. [1] see 4 from http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-copy-a-file-path-in-os-x/ http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-copy-a-file-path-in-os-x/
- anentropic 12y agoI just wish the shortcuts were discoverable via the UI... instead I use it infrequently enough I have to Google it every time.
- Doctor_Fegg 12y agoIt is discoverable - see the bottom of the 'Go' menu.
