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

It's so intuitive, how could I have missed that?

Good old iOS and hidden features. Great discoverability. Long press those, swipe that, gesture this.

I have a gesture for whoever decided "find in page" should go under share.

You can also just type your search term into the normal address bar and there's an item at the bottom of the list for "on this page - find <search>". I'd never even seen the find-in-page button under share.

That would be so much better if Find in page was the first item not the last.

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.

That's what I've done for years.

Long pressing is much more pleasant.

I wish Apple would give us a hint rather than requiring us to chance upon this recommendation on HN.

That’s a nice use for AI - pop up hints when it sees you using the long way a few times.

The problem is Apple’s hints keep popping up even after you say no thanks or it’s fine.

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.
