Starting Programs

To start a program from the main menu, click the main menu icon in the panel or press Alt+F1 to open the main menu. For an overview of all programs installed on your system, click Applications. The function-oriented menu structure makes it easy to find the right application for your purpose even if you do not know the application names yet. To navigate through the structure, click an entry and use the arrow icons at the right or the left to switch back and forth. Apart from that, the tabs Favorites or History provide quick access to some applications.

To search for an application, enter the application's name (or part of it) in the search field at the top of the main menu. Each character you enter narrows down the search. The search results are shown directly below the search field. The results are sorted by categories for better overview.
