E.T.

Here’s a text file I copied a few years back. Process seems a bit squirrely but 
I think I’ve managed to use it a couple times.

Restore a File Using Time Machine

Position on desired folder
Extras menu, Time Machine
Enter Time Machine; wait until finished
Control-Option F1
Finder in Time Machine
Control-Option F2 Twice (or for me, Opt-W) for window chooser
Arrow down to Time Machine Controls
Press Enter
Gives a most recent date
Control-Option LeftArrow
Brings up Timeline
Control-Option DownArrow
Find a backup date of interest
Ctrl-Option J to Jump to list
Arrow to find desired file
Ctrl-Opt F2 twice (Opt-w) to window list to find Time Machine Controls
Ctrl-Opt UpArrow to dismiss backup list
Ctrl-Option Right arrow to Restore button

Hello,
  When selecting this option from the status bar, how does one navigate the 
backup? I was trying to find a particular folder in the Finder. Thanks.
