Re: opening applications folder in the doc
Hi Mike, Thanks for this suggestion. I have a question, though, that hopefully you or someone can answer. What are stacks and fans? I've always assumed they refer to a method of displaying information, but I'd love it if someone could clarify what exactly those options do.

Hello Anna, You can find a lot of shortcuts like these in the Go menu in the Finder. Wherever a menu item has a shortcut, you'll find it after the item description.

Re: opening applications folder in the doc
Great tips Mike, but be careful of one of these. Depending on where a user has the dock positioned, (left, right or bottom of the screen) the arrow used to open the folder will be different. I.E. When the dock is on the left, the right arrow will open the folder; when it's on the right, the left arrow will open the folder. -And, as you say, when it's on the bottom of the screen, the up arrow will open the folder. -The rule of thumb is that the arrow that points to the middle of the screen will open the folder. Personally, I just find it easier to either use VO space or enter. -And, if I want a context menu, I just use VO shift M.

Re: opening applications folder in the doc
Hey Donna, cool beans! Also, command down arrow will open folders too. -And, once in a folder, command up arrow will do two things. Firstly, if you have something selected, it will unselect it, and then on the second press of command up arrow, you'll be moved backward, to the enclosing folder you just came from. Enjoy!… Smiles, Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara On Jun 12, 2010, at 2:31 PM, Donna Goodin wrote: Hey, that command down arrow is cool!

Re: opening applications folder in the doc
HI chris; have you tried pressing enter on the folder in the dock, that you'd like to open?… YOu should not only be able to see the items in said folder, but you should also be given the option to open the folder in Finder rather than just seeing it on the dock. Also, pressing VO shift M will also bring up a menu of other options; open should be one of them. Best of luck and have a great weekend!… Smiles, Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara On Jun 12, 2010, at 7:33 AM, Chris Westbrook wrote: This seems like a really stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway.

Re: opening applications folder in the doc
Hi Mark, I've never tried command down arrow for opening anything. I just tried it on an app in the dock and on the applications folder and nothing happened. i had quick nav on, so I turned it off, thinking that would make a difference, maybe. Still nothing. command down arrow does nothing here. Am I missing a step? mary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
