Seeing as you and I both know the shortcut, how is it inaccessible or hidden? Just because it’s not there cluttering up the visual interface doesn’t mean it’s hidden. For anyone who thinks they might want it, they can find it. For anyone else, they’ll never see it. Seems about right to me.

Be sure how would I even know this is a thing to Google unless I see tip lists like this?

If there was a MacOS shortcut list, grouped by category so that when I want to do something I can search if it is possible without installing a utility, that would be awesome.

Have you tried to google it? It’s the first result.

So that first page doesn't actually have the shortcut, it has a link to another page that contains the shortcut.

Secondly, it doesn't have the details on capturing without a shadow in an easy to read format.

I do not know this shortcut. Further, I do not what shortcuts I do not know about.

Probably the most succinct unintentional definition of poor discoverability in a UI I have seen.

If you were keen on the idea of finding some shortcuts, you would buy a book or search for docs or something though, right?
