Preferences Categories

The various Preferences pages have been categorized in an attempt to group conceptually-related topics. Another advantage of dividing the pages into categories is that individual categories can be collapsed to hide their contents, which is very useful with so many different pages of options!

When the input focus is on the category / page list, you can navigate it using the keyboard in the same way as you can with a tree control - Cursor Up/Down to move up and down and Cursor Right/Left to expand or collapse a category. You can also press * to expand all categories at once, or - twice to collapse all categories.
