So happy if only for Cmd-T to open a terminal at the given folder. I really appreciate having a navigation bar in finder, I used to do all my serious file browsing in the terminal. Now perhaps finder will actually have some use.

Another handy trick: Drag the icon next to the Finder title into any open terminal window and it will place the full path at the prompt.

You can also just do Shift + CMD + G if you want to jump to a folder. You can also drag the Finder proxy icon to Terminal and it'll write the path to your session.

I used to have an Applescript app that I made a default icon in the Finder action bar that would open a new terminal tab and then cd to the path of the Finder window, but they introduced this a few versions ago and I think it works fine: http://lifehacker.com/launch-an-os-x-terminal-window-from-a-specific-folder-1466745514 http://lifehacker.com/launch-an-os-x-terminal-window-from-a-...

Yes, you can do this using "Services" from the system (they appear in Finder contextual menus at appropriate times) but not all Services are enabled by default. Go to: System Preferences >> Keyboard >> Shortcuts tab and select the Services list item. In the list you will find a section named "Files and Folders", which contains "New Terminal at Folder" and "New Terminal Tab at Folder". If you download 3rd party terminal replacements such as mine (MacTerm), you will see Services for those applications as well. :)

I've used some toolbar applications for this for years. The current one I use is Go2Shell: https://itunes.apple.com/se/app/go2shell/id445770608?l=en&mt=12 https://itunes.apple.com/se/app/go2shell/id445770608?l=en&mt... But Cmd+T seems much easier. :)
