This does not work for me on a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro, both running
10.9.3. But I can get the exact same effect by simply holding the
Command key while clicking an item in the Spotlight menu. What I would
really like is to be able to see the entire path - without switching to
the Finder. Being able to copy it directly to the clipboard (also
without switching) would be great too.
