Like this, by word of mouth. That’s how Apple has done UI design since they stopped printing paper manuals.

- ctrl-shift-. to show hidden files on macOS - pull down to see search box (iOS 18) - swipe from top right corner for flashlight button - swipe up from lower middle for home screen

Etc, etc

Not restricted to Apple, but TIL: Double-clicking on a word an keeping the second click pressed, then dragging, allows you to select per word instead of per character.

Long press is a shortcut, the longer way is to click on the icon beside the url and tap/click the enormous "reader mode" button.
