If you like working with your documents on the command line, I’m sure you’ve learned to love ⌃⇧O. This will open a new terminal window in the current document’s folder, ready for you to pull out your terminal-fu. Sometimes, however, you’d like to reveal the file in the Finder. I got this very simple script from Malesca

1. Create a new command
2. Save → Current file
3. Key equivalent → ⌃⇧O
4. Input → None
5. Output → Discard

The command itself is as easy as this:

if [[ -d $TM_SELECTED_FILE ]]; then
TM_PATH="$TM_SELECTED_FILE"
elif [[ -f $TM_SELECTED_FILE ]]; then
TM_PATH="`dirname "$TM_SELECTED_FILE"`"
else
TM_PATH="`dirname "$TM_FILEPATH"`"
fi

open "$TM_PATH"

Now if you press ⌃⇧O you’ll be prompted to open in Terminal or open in Finder.
