I love apple devices, but man, these undocumented things make me question whose team their UI people are on. It doesn't feel like they're on my team.

The lack of discoverability isn't just limited to Apple. It's endemic. And I've heard multiple UX people claim that it's not a bad thing.

I disagree with that opinion, though. I think it's one of the worst aspects of modern UI design.

I used to feel this way, but since learning that much of the advanced functionality is unlocked by Opt/Shift/Ctrl or some combo of them + click, I find myself digging that consistency more and more. At this point if I don’t see the option I need, I know 9/10 it’ll show up when I opt+click.

90% of MacOS shortcuts I know are because I accidentally pressed them once

Even the dimmest fractional setting isn't dim enough for a pitch-black room imo

I never knew this. Thank you for the tip.
