Apple has done a nice job of adding a lot of power user functionality to iPadOS, and iOS in general, but discoverability remains a huge challenge.<p>Multitasking is a kludgy set of gestures and dragging things around. There aren’t great affordances that help less sophisticated users understand the system.<p>The only chance a new user has to discover the new obtuse gesture-based cut, copy, and paste system is a single dialog, shown once, that you are liable to accidentally dismiss. Oh, and don’t forget shake to undo.<p>Seems that one thing Apple could do to help is offer a truly interactive user guide, manual, or tutorial like those we used to learn how mice worked in the 90s (“Mouse Practice”) [1]. Hey, maybe even add it to Tips.app.<p>(Personally, for me, I’ve gone from an iPad productivity skeptic, to preferring using the iPad Pro w&#x2F;Magic Keyboard for any computing task short of programming.)<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=BlFnGgZHPzY" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=BlFnGgZHPzY</a>

This is content-free blogspam.<p>It looks like all of this user&#x27;s past submissions are too?
