reveal-in-osx-finder

=====

**Usage:**

- If ```M-x reveal-in-osx-finder``` is invoked in a file-associated buffer, it will open the folder enclosing the file in the OS X Finder. It will also highlight the file the buffer is associated with within the folder.

- If ```M-x reveal-in-osx-finder``` is invoked in a dired buffer, it will open the current folder in the OS X Finder. It will also highlight the file at point if available.

- If ```M-x reveal-in-osx-finder``` is invoked in a buffer not associated with a file, it will open the folder defined in the default-directory variable.

**Installation**

This package depends on ```dired.el```, which should be available in the default emacs installation. It only works on the OS X environment on Macs.

It is available on the MELPA repository. Do the following, then choose and install reveal-in-osx-finder.

To configure the MELPA, see this: http://melpa.milkbox.net/#/getting-started

```

M-x list-packages

```

Then, put the following in your emacs configuration file.

```lisp

;; To load at the start up

(require 'reveal-in-osx-finder)

;; If you want to configure a keybinding (e.g., C-c z), add the following

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c z") 'reveal-in-osx-finder)

```
