Re: Finder hot key for folder navigation
I use OPTION + Up Arrow to go to the top, and OPTION + Down Arrow to go to the bottom. this works whether I have interacted with the list view or not. HTH - Brad - On Mar 26, 2020, at 12:41, Raul A.

Re: Finder hot key for folder navigation
Hi, You need to make sure that the window is either in List mode (cmd-2) or Column mode (cmd-3) and you should interact with the table or column browser to have many commands work well. You can use option-up to get to the first item in the list and option-down to get quickly to the last item. You can also use VO commands like VO-fn-left to get quickly to the first item in the table or browser, and VO-fn-right to get to the last item. HTH. Later...

Finder hot key for folder navigation
