Here’s something I can’t get to work with any consistency… I like to have more than one Finder window open at a time, pointing to different drives or folders. Sometimes I can switch between then using VO+F2 but more often when I go to the desktop to open another volume or folder, the current

I generally enter the first two or three characters, which is usually enough to find the desired file quickly (the same strategy irrespective of operating system). I’m used to Linux/UNIX tab completion at the shell prompt. That’s the background I’m coming from. From: Macvisionaries on

Hi, When you say "data", do you mean simply data such as documents and such that might be stored on your Desktop or in your Documents folder? Or, do you mean third party applications and such as well? If the former, then those are easy to just put back on from either syncing your Desktop and
