I just tested on my Mac running 10.13.3 beta and enabling the "always show ~Library" changes the effect of the various modifier keys when used with the "Go" menu.
  • ~/Library is ALWAYS on the go menu regardless of modifier keys
  • SHIFT — switches to wide menu display and changes "Enclosing folder" to "Select Startup disk on desktop"
  • OPTION — changes the "Enclosing folder shortcut" from ⌘↑ to ⌥⌘↑ (I have no idea why)
  • CONTROL — Same as Shift
  • COMMAND - no effect

If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
