10 Mac Spotlight Keyboard Shortcuts

The Spotlight menu can be used to search for files, apps and other things with just Command+Space, typing, and then Return. But you can also use other keyboard shortcuts to go to the file location, preview items, get definitions, perform web searches and more.

    Lots of useful tips, thank you! One question: is there any way to make the Spotlight window wider? If I use the Command key to view the path of a file and that path is long, the names of the folders become shortened so as to fit them into the width of the window; many are shortened so much it is impossible to read what that path is.

    Jane: No, it can't be made wider. But if you are searching for a file, don't use the Spotlight window. Not only does it have this restriction, but it will also show you all sorts of other results. Instead, use a Finder window search. It solves your problem.
