This morning I realized I’ve been using a Mac the entire year and I never took the time to learn how to open a folder in a Finder window using the keyboard (command+down). I spent a few minutes this morning browsing a table of OS X keyboard shortcuts, and the most useful one that I didn’t know, other than the ‘open folder’ one, was the shortcut to cycle through windows in the current application (command+`). P.S. That’s the tilde key, it took me a few tries with the apostrophe to realize.
