Settings does not open a window of its own. It is a screen that covers the whole current window. The tab list sits on the left and the content of the selected tab on the right. To leave, press Esc or Back to project at the top left. If you came in from Home, that same spot reads Back to Home.

​
There are two doors

Settings at the bottom of the project sidebar takes you into that project’s settings, and Ctrl/Cmd + , goes to the same place. Settings at the bottom of the Home sidebar opens the app settings only, without a project. Choosing Settings from the command palette opens the same screen. The only difference between the two doors is the Project group. Come in without a project open and this group is missing entirely; go straight to its address and you are sent back to the Appearance tab.

​
The groups in the sidebar

The top group starts without a label, and the ones below it are named. The Plugins group gains one more row for each plugin you have turned on. Turn one off and its row disappears too, so you have to go through Manage to turn it back on. The built-in browser is also a plugin, so its settings sit in this group.
Settings entered with a project open, showing the whole sidebar. Everything from Appearance at the top through the Editor, System, Plugins, Project, and Workspace labels is uncut, and the rows for enabled plugins show inside the Plugins group.

The settings sidebar. The Project group comes along only when you entered with a project open.

When a tab is hard to find

Type a word into Search settings above the sidebar and it catches not only tab names but individual items inside the tabs. Click an item row and that tab opens, the screen scrolls down to the spot, and its border blinks for a moment. If nothing is caught, No matching settings appears.
