Re: Launching Settings

The user help has these instructions for launching each Settings panel (with Network as an example):

1. Open the Activities overview and start typing Network.

2. Click on Network to open the panel.

The reason for this was that not everyone gets the same icon on the Settings button in the system menu (the way I always launch Settings).

Network used to be the first hit in the search, but now I get three app icons before it and it shows up in the list part of the search results. Wi-Fi is now a separate panel, so the manual network settings instructions, for instance, are getting ridiculous: 1, 2 above, then if you don't have a wired connection, click Wi-Fi in the left pane.

Is there a better way to describe launching settings?

Hello Mike,

Which distro do you use? I use Ubuntu. If I follow the above instructions, under Settings I get Network (first) and wifi (second). I can choose to go the the Network panel or wifi panel, depending on what I want to configure. Is this different in your distro?

Of course one can also launch Settings from the system menu. In my case, all I have to do is click the Settings button. Another method is to add the Settings icon to the Dock, if it is not there already. It might be useful to add a separate item to Help, explaining the different ways in which one can open Settings.
