Way to get path
Authored by: englabenny on Apr 09, '03 10:37:12AM

I found using this tip to set "open selection in TextEdit" to cmd-shift-T, i can quickly get the path to any file in Finder. Just selecting a file in Finder and hitting the set shortcut opens me a new TE window with the file path inserted.

Some people might argue that this is not quick and Terminal can do the same, but sometimes you need a file path anotherplace than in Term. And this is also just a bonus to a useful hint.

The nice people at Scotland Software have written a great Services menu item that works better and doesn't require any extra steps!
