The one tip you love sharing to power or non-power users

In macOS, select any text (in most apps) then grab it and drag… and you’ve created a Text Clipping which can be dragged to Desktop or folder, edited by double-clicking, and drag-and-dropped into any app that accepts text. It’s been in the Mac for at least 15 years, but Mac users I know don’t really know about it. In the age of multi-clipboard apps and things like Alfred Text Snippets it’s a somewhat vestigial feature but still useful.
