Daily Trick 35. File Aliasing
As we all have known, having alias (or well-known as shortcut) can save you a lot of time in navigating through files.
For highlighted items, there are 3 ways you can use to create an alias of them:
- Ctrl-Click on one of them (highlighted items) and choose Make Alias from the contextual menu
- Drag-n-Drop them with modifier keys Cmd-Opt pressed
- Hit the keyboard shorcut Cmd-L and the alias will be made
Depending on the situation, you can choose one of the making alias techniques. For example, if you want to make alias on the same directory and subsequently move it elsewhere, 3rd technique is the most suitable.

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.WHrK4XinLBa45Xm1
