Just realized I've been using the alignment tool wrong for 5 years

Last Tuesday I was watching a Figma tutorial on YouTube and the guy hit Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Center - I didn't even know that combo existed. I've been manually eyeballing alignments in my UI mockups since 2019. Has anyone else found a hidden shortcut that made you feel like an idiot for not knowing it sooner?

Happened to me with the "distribute spacing" feature in Illustrator. I had been manually trying to space things out with the grid and guides for years. Then one day I accidentally right-clicked and there it was, a button that does exactly what I was killing myself over. Felt pretty silly for a few days after that, but honestly I still forget it exists half the time.
