At the moment, some of these features are only discoverable by asking how to do a certain thing in a community of other users (or seeing it done on a forum post / video / etc).? We definitely need better documentation and some folks are working on this angle.? The net tie keyword thing is also a hack, in V7 it will be more explicit/discoverable.

There are some subtle features/settings that are hard to pickup. How do
you get up to speed with features like this? This might be hard for a

(Currently, I'm just following along until the day KiCad will do what I
need on a daily basis...)
