I noticed that the Microsoft Style Guide now recommends using "select" for all UI and keyboard interactions.
They no longer recommend "click" or "press."
From what I hear, this has to do with accessibility concerns with screen readers.

@polyester do you have an opinion on that?

More verbs to consider replacing include "hover", "point", "tap", and other device-specific actions.

Seems reasonable. Both regarding a11y and more diverse ways of operating UI's (speech control, ...) "Select" describes what you should do, not a way in which you should do it, which might vary for any number of reasons. So +1
