Navigate site structure in Safari window header Web Browsers
Mon, Jan 13 2003 at 9:02AM PST • Contributed by: maousse
Here's a useful little feature in Safari. A command-click on the title bar reveals the full path for the URL where you're at in a site. So we can have instant access to any level of the site, just like Finder windows behave with the same command-click.

See this screenshot as an example...

Make sure you're pressing the title bar of the window and not the address bar

Make sure you do a cmd-click in the TITLE bar (at the very top of the Safari window), NOT in the URL window!

You're using a Mac, aren't you? Plus you have the good sense to visit Mac OS X Hints. ;-)

Safari stole quite a lot of keybord shortcuts and tricks from MSIE ...

But the Finder supported command-click in window titlebars for quite a while as well ... so who knows; I'm just glad it's there ;-).

blow me down, I never knew that. Its actually a really cool feature, cos it just chops the url at each / so you can get to the top level of a site easily without having to edit the url in the address bar. Cool tip.

stole? nonsense. Apple's HUI group invented a lot of this stuff. where it makes sense to have a path in the window title, the functionality is usually there. textEdit, console.app, hmm, not QuickTime?
