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.

Use a triple-click for an 'open window behind' action

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).
