Is there a way to say this "by" in Spanish? I checked the dictionary and I couldn't find anything.

Just to let you know, in Dani's answer to you, the Spanish gerundio forms act grammatically as adverbs, modifying the verb usar, so they indicate how you use the computer without needing to have a word for by. - DilKen, Apr 9, 2017

Similar to the English sentence: I ran up the hill rapidly. How did you run up the hill? Rapidly. I ran rapidly up the hill. - DilKen, Apr 9, 2017
