Settings: the difference between System and Device is hard to discern #1618

Describe the bug

I can not predict what setting will be in either panel. Just have to randomly look at both to find what I'm looking for. Even the names are not very clear: what is device?

Proposal:

System:

  • Key map*
  • Editor
  • 24-hour clock
    plus file stuff:
  • User
  • Big file size
  • Saved paths max
  • Fav paths

Appearance adds from current system:

  • Only close active tab
  • Max menu height
  • Inline lengths (as a sub-struct): Map, Struct, Slice

Timing has all the remaining timing and distance parameters from Device and System

Plus, and the reason I'm filing this now, I need to add PDF settings, that will go in system under Editor, to specify default page size (A4 vs. Letter)

How to reproduce

open the settings panel..
