Use a triple-click for an 'open window behind' action
Authored by: hypert on Sep 26, '05 10:50:42AM
Click-and-a-half is gone in OS X. However, if you used FinderPop in your Classic days, you really need to try the new (and free!) FolderGlance.

This will allow you to browse thru folders without having to open each one, and it removes the delay I remember with click-and-a-half browsing.

Use a triple-click for an 'open window behind' action
Authored by: leeww on Sep 26, '05 12:17:48PM

The secret with OS 9s 'click and a half' to stop it being sluggish was to tap the space bar when you were over a folder, this made them open instantly.

You can try this in OS X by dragging any old file/folder you have laying about over a folder, now watch how long it takes to open, now try the same thing again but when you drag the file/folder over the folder you wish to open tap the space bar, it will open immediately.

I find the OS X Finder's column view about as convenient as click-and-a-half. With column view I rarely need more than one Finder window at a time. And, yes, I often tap the space bar when I want to move or copy something somewhere. It even works on items in the sidebar.

The delay for spring-loaded folders can be set in the Finder's preferences panel (as can the actual option for spring-loaded folders).
