7.0 Update - Long press on square home touch button no longer works

[ArtieTheOneManParty]

When going to settings, I frequently would long press on the square home touch button to bring up a short menu, and pick settings. Now, it seems there is no more pop up menu, and it's a two step process with the notification pull-down. Is this the case, or am I missing a setting?

Long Press on the square button no longer works for me either but I think they have changed the way this works, double tap on the square and it will launch a shortcut. The problem I am seeing is that the last action I used now becomes what is launched when I double tap the square ( if Google now is the last app I launched it is what will happen when I double tap the square, open my contacts and that is what will open the next time I double tap the square )

Well Duh... Once I looked at the changes that come with 7.0 this is one of the features, when split screen mode is enabled it is quite handy. I would like to find a short cut to open settings without having the two step process of pulling down from the notification bar.

Looks like they may have changed it to 2 finger pulldown to get to settings, which matches what my old Nexus 5 used to do. I used to really miss the difference between 1 and 2 finger pulldown upgrading to the G5. But now i've got used to not having it, so have to retrain my brain again

It means you can see more notifications on the screen (with 1 finger), and you just have to use 2 if you want setting or to use some of the other quick icons.
