How can I save a file to a specific "keyed" location? [duplicate]

In Finder to go to a specific location I can do Cmd-Shift-G

But what if I want to save to a specific location? That is, I don't want to click through a folder hierarchy in the save dialogue box.

For example I would like to save the current file to ~/.ssh

The Where drop down allows you to select a location, but I want to be able to enter the location using the keyboard.


Solution 1:

You can use Command -> Shift -> G in the save dialogue box too, just like in Finder.

Default Folder X is great for saving some as favorites or specific defaults for certain apps. IT does way more than just keyboard shortcuts, but that is one of its super-powers.

Accessibility lets you use keyboard commands to select graphical elements and then tab / type / navigate to whatever folders you prefer.

Control F7 allows tab to select more items and move around using your keyboard in the save dialog.
