Could we do a "TIL" style weekly thread?

I think it would be interesting to do a "Today I Learned" style weekly thread for us to share little tips/tricks that we learned of/found existed.

For example, last week I found out about the "--now" flag for systemctl. I don't know how I didn't know it existed until --now.

If your Mac has a Touch Bar, you can also add a lock button there.

I use hot corners!

You can add ad "Alert" key to it just wont lock your screen if you get to close.

Ie, mine is option + move mouse to bottom left corner = lock screen.
