here are trhe steps in english as those instructions on there were not very clear
1. download and copy the script to ~/libruaries/Services. if you don't have a services folder then create it, remember it is capital S in services 2. open system preferences, click on keyboard, go to the categories table, arrow down to services, then go over to the shortcut keys table and fin documents and folder and expand it and look for move en and directly next to it to the left there will be a blank field, press vo space and type command shift x. then close the window. now go to the finder menu and go to services and click on it, a window will open you can close it as you don't want to use the script yet. now reboot, and you should be able to use the keyboard shortcut, ... the shortcut didn't seem to work off the bat for me but then again i didn't reboot yet, worst comes to worst you just have to click on the finder/services menu to use the script, but at least it can be done On Jun 30, 2010, at 2:02 PM, Courtney Curran wrote: > Hi, > I downloaded the script from that site, but I don't have a clue as to how to > get it working?
