What happened to Go Library?

Geoffrey,

Wassup here?

In my case, I concur with your iMac Shift Key discovery for displaying "Library." "option" no longer displays the "Library" on my iMac. Hardware difference?

I believe the shift key is now the desired modifier to align with the other locations.

However, it doesn't always work until you fix the preferences by changing the View Options on the Home folder to show or hide the Library.

Once you show it (must toggle the setting if you already show it), the Library item will always be in the menu.

If you deselect Show Library folder, then the Library item will be removed and the Option key will show it.

If you set up an App Shortcut in Keyboard System prefs to use the Shift key like the other options in the menu (cmd-shift-L), then only the Shift key will show Library in the menu, not Option.

Thanks Barney. Library was set to display in "Show View Options," but once I toggled the setting I got the Library to display permanently in the Go Menu.

Was there a list of these subtle changes for Sierra?

There never is. You generally just have to sort through them yourself. The specific help pages may give you info, but I'm not sure.
