I just followed his instructions and found the "show library folder" is already checked, but it still doesn't show in my "Go" dropdown list. I deleted it because Urquhart's method is easier. If you don't see this, is there any change if you click on option? This is from 18 ways to view the ~/Library folder in Lion and Mountain Lion | Macworld, and it's obviously old, but you can try... Change the hidden flag using Terminal: Launch Terminal from within your own account, type chflags nohidden ~/Library, and press Return. Your Library folder is now permanently visible. To make the folder invisible again, use the command chflags hidden ~/Library.

Try Shift+Command+L (⇧⌘L) to go directly to your user Library, BUT you must click on the desktop first, to switch the focus to Finder. Actually I had missed that addition to the GO menu

Artie: That terminal command didn't work. I copied and pasted it so I would get the spaces right. And no change when I pressed Option. I'd rather do the Terminal thing so I don't have to keep remember what to click.

Uo for an experiment?
Uncheck the "Show Library Folder" box to which Urquhart directed you.
Power down (NOT restart) your MBP.
Start up, and recheck that box.
Fingers crossed.

I give up.
I'd suggest trashing the applicable plist, but I've got no idea which one it is.

LOL! Thanks anyway. It's funny that I was able to do it for my older laptop but not this one. I don't know if it was the same exact terminal command though. I looked up how to do it on my own and it was the Terminal command you gave me, so I give up, too. Knowing that all I have to do is press "shift" is helpful though. I give up.

Yeah, using the shift key is fine. I rarely have to do any of that anyway, Reinstalling Sierra, etc., is way too much trouble for such a little problem. Thanks, Artie.

I found these instructions on a MacRumors forum and tried it and it worked: You can try to open Finder, press Cmd shift . (it is dot, period) which reveals hidden folders and, after that, on the left side, go to main folder (usually your name) and you will se Library folder grey shaded.
You can drag it on the left side holding ALT and CMD button.
So now my library folder is on the side bar of Finder. No need to go to "Go." Yeah, using the shift key is fine.

That's what I do but for some reason it doesn't always work. Maybe I'm not careful enough at times. I never know what tags are. It won't stick when I read about it. Don't waste your time reading.

Ain't no big deal to me, Rita, because you always make your point, even if it isn't in the most aesthetic fashion, but it would make grelber happier. And I still don't understand what happened in your earlier post.

If [b] precedes [color:] it comes out as expected. Is this a UBB.threads bug? Aaargh!

(also just now I tried to bold "that's" and failed, because the parser still has a bold stuck in its craw)
