Here is how to add your own keystroke combo to immediately open the ~/Library folder:</p> <ul> <li>Open System Preferences and click on ‘Keyboard’</li> <li>Click the ‘Keyboard Shortcuts’ tab and then click ‘Application Shortcuts’ from the left</li> <li>Click the [+] plus icon to add a new keyboard shortcut, select Finder.app as the Application, then type “Library” exactly in the ‘Menu Title’ box</li> <li>Select the box below to choose a keyboard combination, I chose Command+Option+Control+L but you can pick something else</li> <li>Click “Add” and then click back to the Mac OS X desktop and hit your keyboard shortcut to confirm that the user Library directory opens</li> </ul> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/add-keyboard-shortcut-for-library.jpg" alt="Add Keyboard Shortcut for Quick Entry into User Library" title="add-keyboard-shortcut-for-library" width="620" height="383" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25255" /></p> <p>Although there are a variety of <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/22/access-user-library-folder-in-os-x-lion/">ways to access the user library directory in OS X Lion</a>, I find keyboard shortcuts to be the fastest. You can also <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/">show the library folder at all times</a> in the user home folder with the help of a terminal command, which would mimic the default setting in Mac OS X 10.6.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uhpZWr-XlGIQH1rbeIj0pLDZCYU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uhpZWr-XlGIQH1rbeIj0pLDZCYU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uhpZWr-XlGIQH1rbeIj0pLDZCYU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/uhpZWr-XlGIQH1rbeIj0pLDZCYU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=gZ58ud5jHl8:A8rTStgEUA8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=gZ58ud5jHl8:A8rTStgEUA8:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=gZ58ud5jHl8:A8rTStgEUA8:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=gZ58ud5jHl8:A8rTStgEUA8:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=gZ58ud5jHl8:A8rTStgEUA8:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=gZ58ud5jHl8:A8rTStgEUA8:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=gZ58ud5jHl8:A8rTStgEUA8:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/gZ58ud5jHl8" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
