See hidden directories' contents with Safari
Authored by: adrianm on Apr 15, '05 01:41:47PM
You don't need to type a full URL in Safari, just type /Volumes in the address bar and it will do the job.

But as Rob says, shift+cmd+G in Finder does the same.

And even in Safari, you can cmd+O, then type /Volumes like you can in any open file dialog box.

Somebody shoot me! I had no idea you could type a / in any open dialog box and get the Goto menu ...

And I thought I knew OS X!

However, after checking several other apps, I've found a few anomalies:

Safari: Just type /
TextEdit: Just type /
BBEdit: Shift Command G
MailSmith: Shift Command G
ITunes: Shift Command G

Interesting ...

Thanks for the simple, but useful insight.

"/" works only in Cocoa apps.
"shif+cmd+G" works in both Carbon & Cocoa.
