Mac OS X Finder Keyboard Shortcuts

As you probably know, the Finder is the foundation that performs most of the important functions within Mac OS X Lion, including displaying windows, copying and moving files, and launching applications. What you may not know, though, is that lots of Finder keyboard shortcuts are available for you to use to get things done more efficiently (especially if you’re a Mac power user).
