Most readers here probably know already but, just in case some don't, 
there's a comprehensive summary here:-

It's always good to have a reminder anyway!

As an addition to that: any System Service you have that shows up in the

I might make a video of it if needed, but here is one example:

In the Finder you can press Command+Up and move up a directory. You used to be
able to do this in Safari as well. No more... now you have to edit the URL
itself to go up a directory in a website. Sometimes this makes sense to do.
Sometimes not. I can see why Apple stopped backing it as an easy option...
even if I liked it.

So I created a System Service to do so (I can share the code if you want) and
set it to run just in Safari. For some time I had it set to be the "standard"
Command+Up, but later changed it to be Command+Control+Option+Up... most of my
custom ones are like that.

To set the hot key I did much what is described in the article: I went to
System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts ... but instead of going to App
Shortcuts I went to Services. From there you get a list of all Services (both
Apple provided and ones you have added) and you can set the hot key by
clicking the option to the right of the name of the service.  

If that does not make sense I can show you a video of it later.

In this video I do show using one of the System Services and mention that I
have a hot key (and you can see them in the menu). I set them up the way
described... but can make a more specific video if needed:

Thanks for showing me that. I've no idea WHY you'd want to be doing that 
though! ;-)

Sadly, I do not understand "Command+Up"

Is this a joke, perhaps?  I never HAVE found the 'ANY' key!

Now I cannot find the 'Up' key!

Obviously it's the upwards arrow cursor key, or if you've got an 
extended keyboard there's the Page Up key too.

In this case it was the up arrow... and given how there are multiple "up"
buttons it would have been good of me to be more specific.

The ^ symbol is called a "Caret", bt is also known as "hat", "roof", or 
"house" ... but not "up" nor "arrow", (at least not by 'normal' 
people). It is also often used as a stand-in for the Control key / Ctrl 
key in keyboard shortcuts (for example shown on the right-hand side of 
some menu options).

⇧ ⌃ ⌘ ⌥

I never remember the keyboard shortcuts to produce the first, third, and
fourth of those, but I have them in my LaunchBar snippets. :-)

I do not use it often, but there have been times I am looking to see if any
one of a number of sites updates.

Command+Up Arrow. 

If you do that in a folder on the Finder it will take you up the path. You can
even do it from the desktop (the Desktop folder sits in your user folder). I
sometimes do this with folks who have tons of files on their desktop -- allows
me to view the files in an alphabetical list or by last opened or the like.

Sorry: should have said up arrow.

"Copious" is a measurement, not a type. "Copious" is bigger than a cup 
but smaller than a bucket.  ;-)
