You always have to learn the processes in a new company, this is just part of that. And if they don’t give you the explanations, training and time to learn, that’s a good sign you wouldn’t want to be at this company.
Maybe also speak to some of your new colleagues, whether they had similar trouble and see if you can improve the process for the next person.

This thread seems entirely filled with people who seem to not grasp my core point.
Yes you do, but in most cases, no you shouldn’t have to. Software should be intuitive. If it’s not, it’s more efficient to write software that is, rather than waste time constantly training everyone on inefficient software. This is literally one of the core tenants of the agile manifesto.
What makes stuff like the [X] button on the corner and Alt+F4 intuitive?

I agree with your core point, but no software is intuitive.
Most people can intuitively both exit VS Code or edit and save a file with it.
Saying that no software is intuitive is a false equivalency or overbroad generalization.

I am 100% confident that your claim is factually wrong.
