I haven't seen one of these threads on AN in a very, very long time, so I figured now would be as good a time as any to put one up.

The purpose: to post any little tips, tricks, or oddball "features" you've stumbled upon in OS X that you think might be useful to others. (This is inclusive to the iPhone as well.) So, to start off with one I just noticed:

If you Option-drag a text selection in an editor window to another part of the document, instead of moving the text, it will clone and insert it to the destination (as if you had used Copy+Paste). A convenient shortcut, especially if you already have something in the Clipboard you need to paste later.

For a reference of tips, some old, some still relevant: Cool Things a Mac Can Do?

How come 'Similar Threads' aren't appearing to offer cues?

Probably not enough relevant keywords in the initial post.
