Using the Preferences Panel
Preferences are categorized into groups, and many of the groups are divided into subgroups. Several of the preferences are included in more than one group or subgroup, to make them easier to find. The groups and subgroups are listed in the tree structure on the right. To display the subgroups for a group, click the turner to the right of the group name. To display the preferences in a group or subgroup, click the group or subgroup name.
You can search for text in any of the preferences, tooltips, preference headings, or tree text. As you type text into the Search text box, the tree is pruned to show only the parts that contain the text, and the groups are opened so that you can see the subgroups. To show the full tree again, click the clear button in the search box.
Preferences Panel Features
The preferences panel has a tree view of the preference groups and subgroups on the left in a scrolling pane. When a group or subgroup is selected, the settings for the group or subgroup are displayed on the right. Some settings are available in more than one subgroup. Below the tree is a search text field and button for clearing the text field. Each of the groups is described in a separate topic, linked below.
