Rename an item in iTunes using the keyboard

If you're a Mac user, press Command+Return while any item in a list view is selected to toggle editing of an item's name.

I find this to be much easier and faster than using the Info window or the delightful "Click to select. Wait a moment and then click again to toggle editing, but don't click too soon or else it'll be a double-click and you'll start to play the item."

If you're a Windows user I assume you press F2 to rename an item, but I've never used iTunes on Windows.

Unhide the Library folder in OS X 10.7 Lion

If you're running one of the 10.7 Lion Developer previews, you've probably noticed that your ~/Library folder is hidden. You can navigate to it by pressing CMD+SHIFT+G and opening the Go to Folder window and entering ~/Library or you can use chflags command and remove the hidden flag.

Open a new Terminal window and run the following command:

chflags nohidden ~/Library
