- Configure Advanced Keyboard and Mouse Input Options - Enable Emacs-style input across the operating system, define which
SUPERkey activates the Super Key Action, choose a mouse acceleration provide, and enable mouse-click emulation for laptop touchpads. - Select Applications that Start At Login - Manage a list of applications that launch as soon as you log into Pop!_OS.
- Add More Information in the Top Bar - Include or remove the weekday and date in the top bar, and show seconds in the displayed time.
