Then, Option 2 is for you.
Obviously, Option 2 as I have described it in the previous post, was entirely without Finder input. But , no problem, you can get the same thing parting from a Finder selection instead of a LB selection:
- In the Finder select the file which should be the target of the Alias (or Symlink or whatever)
- Press your Instant Send key (as set in LB’s prefs)
- The LB window comes up and your Finder-selected file is focused in the LB window
- In the LB window, press the Tab key
- Then (still in LB) navigate to the destination folder (via Arrow keys or via abbreviations)
- Once you have found the destination folder, hit Return
- You will be presented with the usual Copy/Move/Alias/Symlink/Hardlink prompt
- Make your selection, either via Arrow key up/down, or via number key + Return, or via long-press of number key.
To sum it up:
It’s like Option 2 from the previous post, just with the difference that the starting point is a Finder-selected item (instead of a LB-selected item).
