The Command key and the Apple menu

Probably about 90% of the planet will know this already, but apparently there are more uses to the Apple keyboard Command-key than I for one imagined –at least in Snow Leopard.

For example, did you know that holding down the Command-key when selecting “Recent Items” from the Apple menu in the top left corner of the Finder’s menu bar, results in the list of recent items being shown as “Show “recent_item_name” in Finder”?

The trick works with recent documents and applications; the only type of item it doesn’t work with are servers, but that’s obvious.
