Jump to any folder, including the hidden Library

Clicking down through five folders to reach one you know the path of is slow. The Finder’s Go menu is faster.

For the usual places — Documents, Downloads, Applications, recent folders — the Go menu jumps straight there.

For anything else, choose Go → Go to Folder, or press ⇧ + ⌘ + G, and start typing the path: ~/Pictures/, /Library/Fonts/. Matching folders appear as you type, so a few letters are usually enough.

One folder does not show up in that menu at all: the Library folder inside your home folder. Hold ⌥ while the Go menu is open and Library appears. Guides for resetting an app or finding its files often send you there.

It is hidden for a reason, though: move or delete things in it only if you know what they are.
