I used macOS for about seven years before someone told me about this behavior. Never would've found it, otherwise.

I guess if I had been using it for twenty years I would've known about those old patterns you describe and would've thought to randomly try that key combination.

A tooltip at some point would've gone a long way. Pretty much an impossible feature to discover unless you're a toddler randomly pressing buttons or a greybeard that remembers OS 9

Apple Finder engineer here from 2000 - 2006 and would never have guessed about double-clicking or option-clicking window edges. This seems more like something I would have added to the Nautilus code in 1999.

If only there was a website that could provide few relevant links to the “macos tips and tricks” query.
