This is a quick trick I have just "recovered". I learned it when I first got my Mac, but then promptly forgot it again (so many keyboard shortcuts, so little time!). I spent some time recently experimenting and now have it under control again.
Ever been frustrated at having to use Finder to navigate to an application or utility of interest, and then having to follow up and close the Finder window after double clicking to launch the app? No more!
Hold down the Alt/Option key while double clicking. The app launches and the Finder window closes, all in one action.
A simple but most effective little "trick". Enjoy!
