Once you get the hang of how Tab completion works, you'll realize it's pretty much the best thing ever, especially for those of us who are less-than-efficient typists. So for example, to get the screenshot below, I typed "/S L cor. I can also start typing a path and hit Tab, and then the most relevant result will fill immediately.
…and then wait for a moment, my Mac will attempt to figure out my destination and fill it in for me. To make typing stuff in even faster, the Go to Folder window allows Tab completion (just as Terminal does), and it tries to autofill as you type, as well. After all, if Apple's support documentation tells you to open ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData to access a file within it, it's very quick to just copy that path and paste it into the window. I use this pretty often when I'm troubleshooting. Secondly, the Go to Folder window is an excellent place to paste a path rather than clicking around to get to a deeply nested folder. The Finder's Go > Go to Folder ( Shift-Command-G) menu item is a nifty way to access your file system.įirst of all, you can use it to see hidden folders, so if you need to view /private/var, you don't have to open a Terminal window to do so.
