FerrocastSettings and backup
Settings is a sidebar with ten tabs: General, Clipboard, Snippets, AI, Translate, Capture, Notes, Scripts, Integrations and Advanced. ⌘ 1 to ⌘ 9 and ⌘ 0 jump to them in that order. Each setting is a row with a title, a plain-language description and its control (animated switches, segmented pickers, key caps).
Open it with ⌘ ,. There is also a menu bar icon.
