> When you're picking a file, you can even tap space to get a blown-up preview of an image or PRF. I use this feature almost every time I need to pick an image.

Wait, what? That would have been super useful, but how was I supposed to find out?

It's not indicated anywhere visually. I don't even remember how I found out about it.

This is a downside of macOS and iOS design - lot of hidden gestures. For example, you can right-click the text title of a Finder window to open a quick navigation to all the parent folders of the current directory.

This works in every Finder window; if there's a window with files you can use Quick Look. I'm not sure if it's documented anywhere anymore, but it's been around 15 years.
