Quite on accident the other day I found a nice addition to Lion that mirrors behaviors of iOS. When typing a document should you hold a key down, in my case the letter ‘e’ as I was trying to add extra letters for emphasis, I was greeted with a ‘pop up.’
In this pop up was seven different characters: the letter ‘e’ with several different accent options. Hold the key down to select the character you need.
In Finder windows, as long as I remember, there has always been information about the system including number of files and available space. With Lion these defaults have been removed.
To restore this data in Lion follow these few steps:
- Open a new Finder window—without it, the options will not be available.
- Click in the View option in your menu bar.
- In the view menu drop down click Show Status Bar.
(This can also be accomplished by using the command key and the /.)
By doing so, you will now have the folder information restored at the bottom of your Finder window.
