I feel like I’m on a Spotlight kick. Rather than reinvent the wheel, check out this article that highlights some additional ways you can use Spotlight.
Here is one that I didn’t know:
7. Open The Parent Folder
So Spotlight just found the file that is buried deep somewhere on your computer. Pressing enter will automatically launch the file, but what if you wanted to reveal the file in Finder? The trick is to hold down the Command key while pressing enter. This will open the parent folder of the file so you can see it in Finder.
If you are not into using a mouse, there is another way to do this. From the spotlight results window, use the arrow keys to move down to the file you are interested in and press Command+R which is the universal shortcut for “Reveal in Finder.” Pretty cool.
Check it out and if you have any other tips for using Spotlight let us know.
hey that is pretty handy! thanks!
