Finder
I frequently use the “Recent Items” Finder menu command to quickly get to a previously opened file.
But there have been many times that I’ve wanted to not open that recent file, but to see where the file was located instead. This usually meant digging through sub-folders.
But I’ve found a quicker way to get where I want to go.
While selecting the “Recent Items” menu command and then holding down the Command key, the menu will change to “Show (Recent Item) In Finder”, thereby taking me to the location of the file instead of opening the file.
