It's important to make features as easy to discover as possible. Especially the basic features.
The actions in this article are _shortcuts_. Like a single swipe to switch tabs. It's hard to make it more discoverable (there's a tiny hint on the hide, but that's it). At this point, there's two options:
- Overload the UI showing the possible action. Results in overloaded UIs and worse UX.
- Leave it as-is and just mention it online or in "did you know" pages.
The second option usually makes sense the most. I see a big online trend of "let's remove right click options because they're hard to discover", and I think it's ridiculous. Actions hidden behind right click should be visible elsewhere (e.g.: the options on a file manager are all in the menu bar too), but right click is a fast and convenient *shortcut*.
