I suggest you go and explore how it works first.

But just for your info: you can open the settings in a split or a new
mainWindow for e.g. It just integrates a lot better. You can use the same
shortcuts that you use to switch tabs (alt-left/right) to switch between
views. We'll improve the integration even more moving forward.

It&#39;s funny how you argue that a modal dialog is bad (which I fully agree to), \
