Check out this annoying behavior when navigating finder windows in list view:
- Scroll to the bottom of a finder window with a long list of items, such as the preferences folder.
- Jump straight to another folder that uses list view, but with a short list of items, such your home folder.
- You're presented with a blank finder window and a long scroll to get back to the top of the window. Annoying!
Quick fix: Press fn-home (or just home on a full keyboard) to jump straight to the top. It's not wizardry, but it has saved me many annoying scrolls. Check out the fn-pg up, fn-pg dn and fn-end key combos while you're at it.
