![]() ![]() You can do the regular click to jump to that location though. But I can't Control click on these in an Open or Save dialogue. I can Shift click to go to sibling folders. I can hold the Option key down and you can see the temporary path will appear here at the bottom. Let's say I want to see the Path to that. Let's go to File, Open here and I can select something. This feature is also available in Open and Save dialogue. That makes the Path Bar for this Option key temporary Path Bar more useful. Note that you don't see Copy as Path Name or Open in Terminal if you Control click on a file. If I paste that somewhere you'll see the path to that folder or file. But I will be able to get to Copy as Path Name. If I do it here I'm not going to get Open in Terminal because it's not a folder. ![]() Opening in Terminal will open a new Terminal window and it will take you right to that folder. But there are two things that you'll find here that you don't find in other places. You get a lot of things you would expect to find in the Context Menu like Open a New Tab, Show in Closing Folder, Get Info. Now if you control click on any of these you get even more options. If you just click on them it will jump to that level. No matter what I do when I click on the top level here of iCloud Drive it's just going to go to iCloud Drive. But release and now I can see all the things at this level here. When I click and hold down nothing happens. So I can now hold Shift and click but you have to release the click for anything to show up. ![]() In fact if I hold the Option key down but then move my cursor over this I can release the Option key and as long as the pointer is over this temporary view here it's not going to go away. If I click, and remember I've got the Shift key down, I'll see all of the folders that are at that same level. You could see there are sibling folders to that like Personal, Miscellaneous, MacMost. So, for instance, inside of Documents I've got Projects. Now I can add the Shift key and click on any one of these and it will show me sibling folders. I'll move my cursor down while still holding the Option key. So I will just bring up the temporary one by holding the Option key down. Now whether you're using the actual Path Bar or just this temporary view of it there are actually some useful things you can do with it besides just viewing the path. If I keep Option held down it will stay there so I can take my time to read it. It will stay there just for a second after I stop holding Option. So I'm just going to hold down Option just for a second and then it appears there at the bottom. I don't want to switch on the Path Bar and then forget to switch it off again. So I've selected a File here and let's say I wanted to see the path for that file. What's new in macOS Monterey is if you have it turned Off you can actually get it there temporarily by holding the Option key down. It will be around in Icon View, in Column View, even Gallery View has it. But I could easily turn if On and Off with the keyboard shortcut. ![]() Normally that would be View, Show Path Bar and you could see without it turned on I don't have the Path Bar there at the bottom. That's in View and then here I've got Hide Path Bar. Now you probably don't see this path unless you change the default setting. So, for instance, in List View here I could select a file and I could see the complete path here. Now when you're using the Finder, no matter which view you're in, you could have the path of whatever you're looking at or whatever is selected here at the bottom.
