One Feature I liked was removed in panther, the Go -> Documents option in the Finder's Go menu. It's easy to recreate it, though. You need a text editor; I use Joe in the Terminal, but BBedit or pico will do as well. Open a terminal and type:
% cd /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/ % cd English.lproj [or as appropriate for your language setting] % cd Menus.nibWith your favourite text editor, edit the file objects.xib -- sudo pico objects.xib, for example. Search for GoUt, and you will find somthing like:
<object class="IBCarbonMenuItem" id="712">
<string name="title">Utilities</string>
<string name="keyEquivalent">U</string>
<int name="keyEquivalentModifier">1179648</int>
<ostype name="command">GoUt</ostype>
</object>
Now, copy this sequence, and insert it just below. Then edit it to:
<object class="IBCarbonMenuItem" id="712">
<string name="title">Documents</string>
<string name="keyEquivalent">D</string>
<int name="keyEquivalentModifier">1179648</int>
<ostype name="command">GoDo</ostype>
</object>
That's it. Logout and login again and check your "Go" menu. Apple made it really easy to customise the "Go" menu. I don't know what happens if you insert GoRe instead of GoDo. Maybe you will be taken to the next availible Restaurant, which is at the End of the Universe ?
<object class="IBCarbonMenuItem" id="712">
... as it is. But on my PowerBook, it works. I am happy to have the Go -> Documents Menu availible again.
