One Less Leopard Annoyance

One of my problems with Leopard has been that the way I use Finder stopped
working. I set it to “Always open folders in a new window” and hold down
option when I want to close the window I start from. This is actually
different from the behavior with that preference off — when you open a new
window, it has the saved view settings for that folder. When you navigate to
a new folder in an existing window, the view settings from the old folder
remain. With Leoopard, holding down option merely reverses the state of that
preference. A day or two ago I thought I should try all the modifier
combinations to be sure they just didn’t hide it on me, rather than get rid
of it…and I quickly found it. Hold down control and option, instead of just
option, while hitting command-down or whatever and you get the old (just
holding option) behavior.
