> launching a terminal at a location

Right-click on directory > Services > New Terminal at Folder.

> viewing or copying a files path

Right-click on directory or file and press Option > Copy "<filename>" as path name.

> navigating a deep file system

Not sure what you mean.

> column width in the column view

Option + click & Drag. Or do you want them to adjust to files/folders name length?

> searching for files

What's wrong with Command + F?

> finding file info

Do you want more than what is shown by Command + I or in the "details" column?

Note that you can also bind a hotkey to this! And in general in macOS, you can a bind to a hotkey to any menu item in any application.

Search "keyboard shortcuts" in settings, then under Services -> Files and Folders.

except Excel's ribbon menu items. As far as I know there's no method to hotkey those like ALT+[<letter>] on windows. Same for Outlook's categorize email function.

That's because Microsoft has never used Apple's SDKs for their window widgets...

[johncoltrane]

Those are not "menu items" as generally understood in macOS.

To add to this:

cdf: aliased to cd "$(pfd)"

Doesn't really open a new Terminal, but usually, that's not what I want to happen anyway.

pfd is not standard and is doing all the work---what is it?

In the column view, adjusting to the file/folder name length is easy. Just double click on the column divider.

With the Alt key, that adjusts the width of all columns.
