The preferences dialog was redesigned in GDevelop#9066: two tabs (preferences and keyboard shortcuts), a search field covering both of them, and the settings grouped in sections listed on the left.

The page still described the old dialog, with screenshots of panels that no longer exist.

What changed:

  • Rewrite the page around the new dialog: how to open it, the two tabs, the search (including searching by section name), and one part per group of settings (appearance, layouts, dialogs and hints, events sheet, previews, scene editor, shortcuts, language).
  • New screenshots of the preferences tab and of the keyboard shortcuts tab, taken from the editor.
  • Drop the outdated screenshots of the sub panels and the outdated locate GIF.

As asked by the documentation guidelines, the settings are not listed one by one: the page explains what each group is for and what a user may need help with.

The dialog now has two tabs, a search field covering both of them and its settings grouped in sections listed on the left. Take new screenshots and drop the outdated ones of the sub panels.

The two places changing the language are framed on a screenshot of the start page, and the language dialog is captured from the editor.
