Apple - How to change path in Finder by entering the path manually?

Finder has a menu item found under Go ("Go to Folder…") where you can type a full path.

The command+shift+G keyboard shortcut makes it handy to summon. This short cut works in the file open and save dialog as well.

The command line version would be:

open -R /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/

or just:

open /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/

depending on you want to go inside the folder or reveal the folder in finder.


Use Spotlight Search (which can be opened quickly with Command + Space or sometimes a dedicated key like ). It has been around since Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger.

Just type or paste the full path into the Spotlight Search box. Even a partial folder and/or file name can also reveal the destination, albeit there might be a long list of matches to weed through.
