Don't know why I'm surprised, but what a good article! In-depth, imformation-dense, and easy to read. Goes on way past the point when the author could have stopped writing and still got shares on social media.
I've always liked the Mac's hidden option-key features. It's a tasteful way of offering a lot of functionality without cluttering up the interface with things you don't need most of the time. To me, it's nicer than having to declare yourself a “power user” and switch on all the extra features for good.
So, it was good to see that even in the latest MacOS releases, which I tend to feel are on a bit of a steady decline from the peak of Apple good taste, they're still adding secret option-key treasure to some of their new stuff. Gives a bit of hope for the future of the platform, I suppose.

Option + IJKL inverse T for arrow keys (unfortunately got into vim after I built up that muscle memory) and option + P for enter among many others
