It is working if Finder is activated.

Ok, I understand, the description wasn’t too clear but the tip’s working!

@ Leo: I’m not sure what you’re saying here. Finder is an Application which primary object is the navigation window but Desktop is a user’s location. You probably mean doing this tip when there’s at least one Finder window open or without any window.

Actually, cmd+up arrow is used to move back from a location to its parent folder. When in colon view you just can use the back arrow but in any other view, use cmd+up arrow. Very handy.

Also, you can add this shortcut: if you have a Finder window opened and activated in front, use shift+cmd+up arrow to select the Desktop background instead of clicking it. If your activated window was your Home window, then you can toggle back using cmd+up arrow.

Please note that typing cmd+up in desktop environment is different from doing the same thing in finder
That’s why James did not get cover flow view as default, he did it in finder, not in desktop

cmd + up goes to my home folder

cmd+ n goes to my default finder window (which i have set to apps). you can change the default finder window folder in the finder preferences under the general tab.

I think that’s supposed to be Command + Up Arrow.

for me, when I hit cmd+up I get whatever the previous view I had set. not coverflow by default…
