# Settings

Settings control appearance, scrolling, search engine, Control Strip, and which keyboard family you use. Changes sync across tabs in the same Chrome profile.

## Use it

1. Press <kbd>'</kbd> (quote), or open Settings from the Control Strip, popup, New Tab page, or Keyboard Reference dropdown.
2. Pick a category in the left nav.
3. Adjust controls — most apply immediately.
4. Press <kbd>Esc</kbd> or the titlebar close control when finished.

Start with **Keyboard** (layout + handedness) and **Scrolling** (<kbd>C</kbd>/<kbd>V</kbd> distance). Fine-tune **Click Mode** and **Text Mode** once the basics feel right.
