Hey Eugenia, Great post, as I have been using the mac for three years now, and
at first had the same issues with finder that you had, as it takes some getting
used to. Funny as I never have used column mode, and after reading your great
explanation of it changed a finder window to it and loved i
thanks for this very interesting discussion, I'll save it and use it to explore
& learn the finder on my mac. I'm still a newbie, and learning. Ironically I
seem to use my mac a lot for filling out web forms! Such as those that doctors
offices seem to have on their websites now. Even though
Hello Eugenia:
Thanks so much for your help! My early experience with the finder has been so
similar to yours. ☺
Thanks also, to those that took the time to pass along the very helpful hints.
I feel much more comfortable in finder now than I did this morning. I'm loving
the column view a
when I first got my Mac, Finder was probably the hardest thing for me. This is
because I was not used to the List View mode looks on the Mac compared to
Windows. I had never used Column mode in Windows, and now I love it.
When I was using Windows, I pressed the enter key if I wanted to access a

First, I believe the command that you want for keyboard help is voiceover Kate,
E. G. Control option Kay.This will give you the keyboard help that you desire.
I order to move items to the trash, use command backspace. Simply backspace

Hi,
I don't believe that you can bypass the Trash. Pressing cmd-delete on a
selected item will move it to the Trash. cmd-option-delete will usually move
locked items to the Trash. cmd-shift-delete empties the Trash and
cmd-option-shift-delete will empty the Trash without asking you if you ar
I am following this interesting thread. In Finder I can not find out to
delete a selected item, even doing Command + K for keyboard help. How do
you delete a selected item? And ccan you bypass the Trash? In Windows

Hello, Kiersten.
Navigating within finder is as easy as understanding the directory tree

I am sure there are all kinds of podcasts, etc. However, if you would like, I

Kirsten, I don't know of any specific help for finder, but how about the
MAC's help system? That should have something.
In the meantime, I'll try to give you a thumbnail sketch of its use.
