Mac 10.7 Lion Spotlight Tip – Finding the Path
This is a tip for Mac users using Mac 10.7 Lion. In previous versions of Mac OS X, when you hover over the file, folder, etc. in Spotlight, the path would be displayed. However, in 10.7 Lion that is no longer the case. I have found a shortcut that will display the path of the item you are searching for.
[list style=”list5″ color=”blue”]
- Step 1 In spotlight, type the file or folder you are looking for.
- Step 2 Hover your mouse over the file, folder, app, etc.
- Step 3 A Quick Look dialog box will appear to the left.
- Step 4 While this Quick Look box is visible, hold down the command key and notice at the bottom of that Quick Look box the name of the file will appear. If you continue to hold the command key, the path of that file will appear.
- Step 5 To toggle between these options you can also include the alt/option key.
