<title>&konqueror; Basics</title>
<important><para>Like all &kde; applications, &konqueror; is highly
configurable. This document describes how &konqueror; behaves with the normal,
default settings.</para>
<para> A three button mouse can be useful when you are running
&konqueror; or any other &kde; application. If your mouse only has two buttons
then you should be able to set your system up so that you can simulate a &MMB;
by pressing both buttons at the same time.</para>
<para>You can read more about mouse usage in <xref
linkend="lmb-mmb"/></para>
<para>If you are used to having to double-click to perform an action,
then take care, because in common with the rest of &kde;, &konqueror; defaults
to single-clicking.</para></important>
<sect1 id="konq-start">
<title>Starting &konqueror;</title>
<para>Being a combined File Manager and Browser,
&konqueror; will automatically
switch between the two modes as needed when it is running, but it is convenient
to be able to choose which mode is to be used when you start it up.</para>
<itemizedlist>
<!--
<listitem><para>If you have a <guiicon>house</guiicon> shaped icon on the panel
or desktop, then <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> click on it to open
&konqueror; as a file manager.</para></listitem>

&Enter; to start in file manager mode, or just enter a &URL; such as
<userinput>http://www.konqueror.org</userinput> to start &konqueror; as a
browser.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<note><para>Click on the black arrow to the right of the <guiicon>Home Page</guiicon> icon
to switch to your <guiicon>Home Folder</guiicon> in the file manager mode and vice versa.
</para></note>
<para>If &konqueror; is the default file manager it also starts automatically when you
<mousebutton>left</mousebutton> click on a desktop icon that represents a
folder, such as a hard disk drive or the <guiicon>Trash</guiicon> icon.

<title>The Parts of &konqueror;</title>
<para>A brief look at the main parts of &konqueror;'s window:</para>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject><imagedata format="PNG" fileref="parts.png"/></imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>Here's a screenshot of &konqueror;</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
<para>The <interface>Titlebar</interface> is the strip across the top of
&konqueror;'s window, and operates in the same way as for other &kde;
applications. <mousebutton>Right</mousebutton> click on the central portion to
bring up the neat Titlebar menu.</para>
<para>The <interface>Menubar</interface> is the strip containing the names of
the drop-down menus. <mousebutton>Left</mousebutton> click on a name to
alternately show and hide that menu, or use <keycombo
action="simul">&Alt;<keycap>the underlined
letter</keycap></keycombo> in the name as a hot key, for example <keycombo
action="simul">&Alt;<keycap>E</keycap></keycombo> to show the
<guimenu>Edit</guimenu> menu. The various menus are described in the <link
linkend="menubar">Menubar</link> section of this document.</para>
<para>The <interface>Toolbar</interface> contains icons for commonly used
operations. <mousebutton>Left</mousebutton> clicking on an icon will activate
it. A brief description of what that icon does will appear when you hover
the pointer over it.</para>
<para>Some icons, for example the Up and Back icons in the previous screenshot,
have a small black arrow at the right. If you click with the &LMB;
at this arrow a small dropdown menu will
appear.</para> <para><mousebutton>Right</mousebutton> clicking on the
<interface>Toolbar </interface> will bring up the <link
linkend="rmb-menus"><guilabel>Toolbar Settings</guilabel> menu</link> which you can use
to change the <interface>Toolbar</interface>'s appearance and position.</para>
<para>The <interface>Location Toolbar</interface> shows the path to the
directory, &URL; or file being viewed. You can type a path or &URL; here and
press &Enter; or <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> click on the
<guiicon>Go</guiicon> icon at the right hand end of the <interface>Location
Toolbar</interface> to go to it. The black icon at the right hand end of the
<interface>Location Toolbar</interface> clears the text entry box.</para>
<para>The <interface>Bookmark Toolbar</interface> is the area under the
<interface>Location Toolbar</interface> in the previous screenshot. You can add
frequently used bookmarks here; see the <link
linkend="orgbmark">Organizing
Your
Bookmarks</link> section of this document.</para>
<para>The <interface>Window</interface> is the main area of &konqueror; and
can show you the contents of a directory, web page, document or image. Using
the <link linkend="menu-window"><guimenu>Window</guimenu></link> menu you can
split &konqueror;'s main window into one or more separate views, useful for
drag and drop operations, or set it to contain two or more tabbed views.
</para>
<para>The <interface>Status Bar</interface> runs across the bottom of the
&konqueror;'s window
and often shows general information about whatever the mouse pointer is
hovering
over. If you have split the main window into a number of views you will get a
Status Bar for each view, and it will include a small green light at the left
hand end to show which is the <quote>active</quote>
view. <mousebutton>Right</mousebutton> clicking on the Status Bar brings up the
Status Bar <link linkend="rmb-menus"><mousebutton>Right</mousebutton> Mouse
Button Menu</link>.</para>
<note><para>Don't worry if your &konqueror; doesn't look exactly like this
screenshot; it is highly configurable. In particular:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>You can use the <link
linkend="menu-settings"><guimenu>Settings</guimenu></link> menu to choose
whether to show or hide the Menubar, Main Toolbar, Location Toolbar and
Bookmark Toolbar, or even to add an Extra Toolbar.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>If the toolbars are unlocked, you can also drag them to a new position by
<mousebutton>left</mousebutton> clicking on the handle at the left hand end
of a bar and move it around by holding the &LMB; down while you
drag it. </para></listitem>
<listitem><para>This screenshot does not show the optional <link linkend="sidebar">
Sidebar</link>.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>For more details of how to change &konqueror;'s appearance, see the <link

<sect1 id="bubble">
<title>Tooltips and What's This?</title>
<para>You can find out a lot about how &konqueror; works without needing to
read
this entire document if you take advantage of <guilabel>Tooltips</guilabel> and
the
<guimenuitem>What's This?</guimenuitem> feature.</para>
<para>When you hover the mouse pointer over a Toolbar or Sidebar tab
button it should bring up a terse description of what that button does.</para>
<para><guimenuitem>What's This?</guimenuitem> is invoked by the Menubar
<menuchoice><guimenu>Help</guimenu><guimenuitem>What's This?</guimenuitem></menuchoice> item
or by <keycombo action="simul">&Shift;<keycap>F1</keycap></keycombo>.
It changes the cursor to show a question mark alongside the arrow.</para>
<para>When this question mark is visible, a &LMB; click won't actually do
anything until you have clicked on a control (or the text alongside it) that
supports <guimenuitem>What's This?</guimenuitem>, in which case it will
display
a reasonably comprehensive description of what the control does.
Most of the dialog boxes that &konqueror; brings up support the
<guimenuitem>What's This?</guimenuitem> feature.</para>

</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><mousebutton>Left</mousebutton> click on a file name or icon
and &konqueror; will do whatever it thinks appropriate, based on the file type.
In general this means opening <acronym>HTML</acronym> pages, or previewing
text, image or
&okular; documents, showing them within &konqueror;'s
window (<quote>Preview</quote> means that you can see the file but not change
it).</para>
<para>&konqueror; decides what the file type is by matching the filename
extension against a list of known types. If that fails it tries to guess
the type from the file contents. You can change the list of known file types
and associated actions with the <guilabel>File Associations</guilabel> page of
the <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure Konqueror...
</guimenuitem></menuchoice> dialog.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Clicking the &MMB; on a file or folder name or icon does essentially the
same as <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> clicking except that it usually does it
in a new &konqueror; window, unless the <guilabel>Open links in new tab instead
of in new window</guilabel> box has been checked in the
<guimenuitem>General</guimenuitem> page of the
<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure
Konqueror...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> dialog. &konqueror; can open
links on pages and <menuchoice><guimenu>Bookmarks</guimenu></menuchoice>,
as well as the
<guibutton>Home</guibutton>, <guibutton>Up</guibutton>,
<guibutton>Back</guibutton> and <guibutton>Forward</guibutton>
entries in a new tab or window.</para>
<para>Holding the &Shift; key down while pressing the &MMB; will open the link
in the background.</para>
<!-- not in 4.4.0
<important><para>If you click the &MMB; when the mouse cursor is over a blank
part of the main view (not over a link or file name or icon) &konqueror; will

<title>Using Bookmarks</title>
<para>Although you can use &konqueror;'s bookmarks to record the locations of
your own files and folders, they are most useful when you are surfing the
Web, letting you build up a list of useful sites.</para>
<para>To open the <guimenu>Bookmarks</guimenu> menu
<mousebutton>left</mousebutton> click on the <guimenu>Bookmarks</guimenu> menu.
Once the list is visible, you can navigate through it with the arrow keys or
with your mouse, then press &Enter; or <mousebutton>left</mousebutton>
click to visit the selected location.</para>
<para>To add a new item to the list use <menuchoice><guimenu>Bookmarks
</guimenu><guimenuitem>Add Bookmark</guimenuitem></menuchoice> or
<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>B</keycap></keycombo> or
<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on a clear space in the web page or
folder view and select <guimenuitem>Bookmark this Page</guimenuitem> /
<guimenuitem>Bookmark this Location</guimenuitem> from
the pop up menu.</para>
<para>The <guimenu>Bookmarks</guimenu> list can contain subfolders containing
other bookmarks, you can create these with <menuchoice><guimenu>Bookmarks
</guimenu><guimenuitem>New Bookmark Folder...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
To add a bookmark into a subfolder rather than into the main Bookmark list,
select the folder from within the <guimenu>Bookmarks</guimenu> list and use
the <guimenuitem>Add Bookmark</guimenuitem> item in that folder.</para>
<para>You can also access your bookmarks from the <link linkend="sidebar">
<guilabel>Sidebar</guilabel></link> or from the <guilabel>Bookmark Toolbar</guilabel>.</para>
<para>If you enter <userinput>bookmarks:/</userinput> in the location bar the
bookmarks home page with an overview of all bookmarks and folders is shown.</para>
<sect1 id="orgbmark">
<title>The Bookmark Editor</title>
<para>The <menuchoice><guimenu>Bookmarks</guimenu><guimenuitem>Edit
Bookmarks</guimenuitem> </menuchoice> option opens the <guilabel>Bookmark
Editor</guilabel>.</para>
<para>This shows a tree view of your bookmarks and bookmark subfolders.
As is usual for tree views in &kde;, subfolders are shown with a small
<keycap>&gt;</keycap> arrow at the left of the folder name;
<mousebutton>left</mousebutton> clicking on it will expand the view to
show the contents of that subfolder and the <keycap>&gt;</keycap> arrow will
change to <keycap>v</keycap>; <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> clicking on the
<keycap>v</keycap> arrow will collapse the subfolder view.</para>
<para>To select an item in the list you can <mousebutton>left</mousebutton>
click on it, or you can navigate through the list by using the <keysym>
Up arrow</keysym> and <keysym>Down arrow</keysym> keys to move around,
<keysym>Right arrow</keysym> to expand a subfolder and <keysym>
Left arrow</keysym> to collapse it.</para>
<para>You can move an item to a different place in the list by using the
normal Drag and Drop or <guimenuitem>Cut</guimenuitem> and <guimenuitem>
Paste</guimenuitem> methods. The order in which the items appear in
the <guilabel>Bookmark Editor</guilabel> is the order they will appear in the
<guimenu>Bookmarks</guimenu> drop down list. The <menuchoice><guimenu>Folder
</guimenu><guimenuitem>Insert Separator</guimenuitem></menuchoice> option can
be used to insert separating lines into the list wherever you wish.</para>
<para>A new subfolder can be created at the selected point in the list by
using the <guimenuitem>New Folder...</guimenuitem> option in the
<guimenu>Folder</guimenu> menu or from the drop down menu you get when you
<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on an item in the main part of the
window, or with <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>N</keycap></keycombo>
</para>
<para>To change the name of a bookmark or folder select it then press
<keycap>F2</keycap> or choose the <guimenuitem>Rename</guimenuitem> item from
the <guimenu>Edit</guimenu> menu or the pop up menu that appears when you
<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the item. Similarly, you can edit
the &URL; by pressing <keycap>F3</keycap> or choosing the <guimenuitem>
Change Location</guimenuitem> menu item.</para>
<para>The <guilabel>Bookmark Editor</guilabel> lets you import bookmarks from
a range of other browsers into &konqueror;'s bookmark list, putting them into
a new folder or replacing all current bookmarks. To do this select
<guisubmenu>Import</guisubmenu> from the <guimenu>File</guimenu> menu. The
<menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guisubmenu>Export</guisubmenu>
</menuchoice> option can be used to export &konqueror;'s bookmarks to a
&Netscape; or Mozilla browser.</para>
<para>To select which bookmark subfolder is used to hold the Bookmark
Toolbar items select the subfolder then choose <guimenuitem>Set as Toolbar
Folder</guimenuitem> from the <guimenu>Folder</guimenu> menu.</para>
<para>If you are tidying up your bookmarks and have forgotten what a
particular web page is, you can easily open it from within the <guilabel>
Bookmark Editor</guilabel> by <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> clicking
on the item and selecting <guimenuitem>Open in Konqueror</guimenuitem> from
the pop up menu. If you just want to check that the &URL; is still valid
select <guimenuitem>Check Status</guimenuitem> instead.</para>
<note><para>All your changes are automatically saved if you close
the <guilabel>Bookmark Editor</guilabel>.

&Shift;<keycap>T</keycap></keycombo>) option which will let you see different
pages at the same time. This can be useful if you are looking through a
complicated set of <acronym>HTML</acronym> pages, but make sure the little link
box at the bottom right hand corner is empty when you are doing
this.</para>
<para>To go back to the previous page use the <keycombo
action="simul">&Alt;<keysym>Left</keysym></keycombo>
shortcut, the <guibutton>Back</guibutton> button on the Toolbar, or the menubar
<menuchoice><guimenu>Go</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Back</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
option.</para>
<para>Similarly, once you have gone back you can go forward by using
<keycombo action="simul">&Alt;<keysym>Right</keysym></keycombo>, the
<guibutton>Forward</guibutton> button, or the menubar
<menuchoice><guimenu>Go</guimenu>
<guimenuitem>Forward</guimenuitem></menuchoice> option.</para>
<!-- copy from okular Navigating -->
<para>
There are multiple ways of scrolling the viewing area. One is to use the
<keycap>Up Arrow</keycap> and <keycap>Down Arrow</keycap> keys. You may also use
the scrollbar, your mousewheel or the <keycap>Page Up</keycap> and <keycap>Page Down</keycap>
keys.</para>
<para>If you want to read a long webpage use the automatic scrolling feature of &konqueror;.
Start automatic scrolling with <keycombo action="simul">&Shift;<keysym>Down Arrow</keysym></keycombo> or
<keycombo action="simul">&Shift;<keysym>Up Arrow</keysym></keycombo>. Then use these keys to increase and
decrease the scrolling speed. You can start or stop automatic scrolling temporarily by pressing the &Shift; key;
pressing any other key deactivates this feature.
</para>
<para>Automatic scrolling works only in the view mode <guimenuitem>KHTML</guimenuitem>.
</para>
<para>If you want to stop a download for any reason then use the
&Esc; key, the Toolbar <guibutton>Stop</guibutton> button or the
Menubar <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu>
<guimenuitem>Stop</guimenuitem></menuchoice> item.</para>
<para>When you are viewing a web page with the <guilabel>HTML Toolbar</guilabel>
enabled you should see two new icons in the toolbar <guiicon><inlinemediaobject><imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="format-font-size-less.png" format="PNG"/>
</imageobject></inlinemediaobject></guiicon> and <guiicon><inlinemediaobject><imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="format-font-size-more.png" format="PNG"/>
</imageobject></inlinemediaobject></guiicon>. Use these to adjust the size of the text in the
page if you find it difficult to read. How well this works will
depend on how the web page has been constructed.</para>

<sect1 id="tabbrowse">
<title>Tabbed Browsing</title>
<para>By using this feature you can make &konqueror; load multiple web pages in
the same window, and switch between them using tabbed pages. This way, you can
preload a page <quote>in the background</quote> while you carry on reading another.</para>
<para>To use tabbed browsing, <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on a
link and choose <guimenuitem>Open in New Tab</guimenuitem> from the drop down
menu or &MMB; click. The page will be downloaded and displayed as normal, but with tabs
across the top of the view, one tab for each page. &LMB; click on a
tab to view that page, or you can use the shortcuts
<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>,</keycap></keycombo> and
<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>.</keycap></keycombo> to cycle through
the tab pages. Alternatively, you can scroll through the tabs using
the mouse <mousebutton>wheel</mousebutton> while the mouse pointer is
over the tab bar (presuming that your mouse has one). Also,
double-clicking over the empty tab bar space will open a new
tab.</para>
<para>Using the <guilabel>Open new tabs in the background</guilabel> option in the
<guilabel>General</guilabel> page of the <guimenu>Settings</guimenu>

<title>Web Shortcuts</title>
<para>If enabled, &konqueror;'s Web Shortcuts
feature lets you submit a query directly to a search engine or similar web site
without having to visit the site first.</para> <para>For example, entering
<userinput>gg:konqueror</userinput> into the Location Bar and pressing &Enter;
will ask <trademark>Google</trademark> to search for items related to
&konqueror;.</para>
<para>To see what Web Shortcuts are available, and perhaps
add your own, use <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure
Konqueror...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and open the <guilabel>Web Shortcuts</guilabel>
page.</para>
<para>Once there, to make a new Web Shortcut select
<guibutton>New...</guibutton> and you will now have a new dialog
requesting the options and specifications of your new Web
Shortcut. The first field is for the human readable name of the search
provider; that is, simply the name of the Search provider. For
example, <trademark>Google</trademark>.</para>
<para>In the next field you should enter the &URI; that is used to do a
search on the search engine. The whole text to be searched for can be
specified as <userinput>\{@}</userinput> or
<userinput>\{0}</userinput>. The recommended version is
<userinput>\{@}</userinput> since it removes all query variables
(<replaceable>name</replaceable>=<replaceable>value</replaceable>)
from the resulting string whereas <userinput>\{0}</userinput> will be
substituted with the unmodified query string. </para>
<para>You can use <userinput>\{1}</userinput>
... <userinput>\{n}</userinput> to specify certain words from the
query and
<userinput>\{<varname><replaceable>name</replaceable></varname>}</userinput>
to specify a value given by
<userinput><varname><replaceable>name</replaceable></varname>=<replaceable>value</replaceable></userinput>
in the user query. In addition it is possible to specify multiple
references (names, numbers and strings) at once, like
<userinput>(\{<varname><replaceable>name1</replaceable></varname>,<varname><replaceable>name2</replaceable></varname>,...,"<replaceable>string</replaceable>"})</userinput>. The first
matching value (from the left) will be used as substitution value for
the resulting &URI;. A quoted string can be used as the default value if
nothing matches from the left of the reference list.</para>
<para>To make a basic Web Shortcut here however, all that is required
is the &URI; that is used to do a search on the search
engine. Following our previous example with
<trademark>Google</trademark>, we would enter
<userinput>http://www.google.com/search?q=\{@}&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8</userinput>. You
can often easily find where to place the <userinput>\{@}</userinput>
by doing a search on the search engine in question, and then analyzing
the &URL; address. For example, doing a <trademark>Google</trademark>
search for &konqueror; produces the &URL;: <ulink
url="http://www.google.com/search?q=konqueror&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8">http://www.google.com/search?q=konqueror&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8</ulink>. Now
you need to merely replace &konqueror; with
<userinput>\{@}</userinput> in this example to find the appropriate
&URI; to be entered.</para>
<para>In the third field you need to enter the &URI; shortcut. For
example, the <userinput>gg</userinput> in
<userinput>gg:konqueror</userinput>. In the next option &mdash; the
drop-down menu &mdash; you have the option to select the character set that
will be used to encode the search query. Once you have entered all the
options correctly to your satisfaction, press &Enter; and your new Web
Shortcut should now be available in &konqueror;.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="accesskeys">
<title>Access Keys</title>
<para>&konqueror; has full support for the
<sgmltag class="attribute">accesskey</sgmltag> &HTML; attribute in
forms and links. Access keys allow you to use
the keyboard keys for functions which would perhaps normally be done
with the mouse, such as following links. The benefit of this is, quite
simply, that users can interact with a page with devices other than a
pointing device.</para>
<para>This feature has to be enabled by checking the <guilabel>Enable Access
Key activation with &Ctrl; key</guilabel> option on the <guilabel>Web
Browsing</guilabel> settings page.</para>
<para>To activate the access keys in &konqueror;, press and release
&Ctrl;. Once this is pressed, if a particular link on the website has
the <sgmltag class="attribute">accesskey</sgmltag> attribute in the given link, then the
character(s) should appear over the link, identifying what needs to be
pressed. Then, you can enter the character(s) associated with the link
as an alternative to following the link with the mouse. To disable the
access keys once activated you can press &Ctrl; again.</para>
<note><para>The proper use of this feature requires that the web
designer of the page has specifically assigned, using the
<sgmltag class="attribute">accesskey</sgmltag> attribute, an access key for the
link. Many web designers might not include the
<sgmltag class="attribute">accesskey</sgmltag> in their links and forms, and
consequently this feature will be unusable on the given
webpage.</para></note>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="useragent">
<title>Browser Identification</title>
<para>When &konqueror; connects to a web site it sends some brief browser
identification information, known as the <quote>User Agent</quote> string.
Many web sites use this information to customize the pages that they send
back, based on the strengths and weaknesses of different browsers.</para>
<para>Unfortunately, some badly designed sites refuse to work properly
unless you are using a browser that the site recognizes as a
<quote>valid</quote> one, even though if given a chance, &konqueror; will
work satisfactorily with the vast majority of web pages.</para>
<para>To overcome this problem you can change the browser identification
information that &konqueror; sends for specific sites or domains by
selecting <menuchoice><guimenu>Web Browsing</guimenu><guimenuitem>
Browser Identification</guimenuitem></menuchoice> page of the settings dialog.</para>
<note><para>Problems with getting a web page to work properly may also be due
to its use of &Java; or JavaScript. If you suspect that this may be the case
check that they have been enabled in the <guilabel>Java &amp; JavaScript
</guilabel> section of the settings dialog.</para></note>
<note><para>Install the <guilabel>UserAgent Changer</guilabel> extension from the
&konqueror; Plugins and enable it in <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>
Configure Extensions</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. This extension adds a
<guimenuitem>Change Browser Identification</guimenuitem> item to the <guimenu>Tools</guimenu>
menu. Using this item lets you quickly switch between different <quote>User Agent</quote>
strings.</para></note>

<title>Saving and Printing Web Items</title>
<para>When you are viewing a web page you can save it (or at least the basic
&HTML; or similar source text) to your local disk with
<menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>Save

<para>If the page uses a background image, you can get and save that with the
<menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>Save Background
Image As...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> option.</para>
<para>But if what you really want is that glorious picture of the latest
Ferrari, then <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> clicking on the image will
give you a drop-down menu with a
<guimenuitem>Save Image As...</guimenuitem> option. Be sure to respect the
owner's copyright, and ask for permission before using any pictures saved this
way for anything other than your own viewing pleasure.</para>
<para>If you <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on a link (which may be a
picture) and select <guimenuitem>Save Link As...</guimenuitem> from the pop
up menu the basic &HTML; or similar source text will be
downloaded and saved on your local disk.</para>
<para><mousebutton>Right</mousebutton> clicking on a link (which may be a
picture) and choosing <guimenuitem>Copy Link Address</guimenuitem> will copy
the &URL; of the link to the clipboard so you can then paste it into, say, an
e-mail to a friend telling her about this wonderful new site.</para>
<para><mousebutton>Right</mousebutton> clicking on a picture and choosing
<guimenuitem>Copy Image</guimenuitem> copies the &URL; of the picture
to the clipboard.</para>
<para>To save a complete web page, including images, select <guimenuitem>

saved as a single file with a <literal role="extension">.war</literal>
extension and can be opened by <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> clicking

</sect1>
<sect1 id="ftp">
<title>&FTP;</title>
<para>&FTP;, or File Transfer Protocol, is one of the earliest, and still
perhaps the best, way of transferring files between computers over the
Internet.</para>
<para>With &FTP; you can see files and folders on the distant computer just
as if they were on your own system, download them onto your computer using
&konqueror;'s normal <guimenuitem>Copy</guimenuitem> and
<guimenuitem>Paste</guimenuitem> or Drag n' Drop methods and, if allowed,
upload files from your machine to the other computer's filesystem. To try it,
type the &URL;</para>
<screen>
<userinput>ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde</userinput>
</screen>
<para>into the Location Toolbar and press &Enter;. As long as
you are connected to the Internet, and as long as the &kde;'s &FTP; site is
not too busy, you should end up seeing the <filename
class="directory">/pub/kde</filename> folder at &kde-ftp;</para>
<note><para>Although, strictly speaking, &FTP; &URL;s should
be entered starting with <userinput>ftp://</userinput> and <acronym>WWW
</acronym> &URL;s starting with <userinput>http://</userinput>
&konqueror; is usually smart enough to figure out what is meant, and insert
these characters for you if you leave them out.</para></note>
<para>When you access an &FTP; site it will usually need some form of username
and password from you. To simplify things, most &FTP; sites that offer files
for free downloading will accept the word <systemitem class="username">
anonymous</systemitem> as a username and your email
address as a password, and to make your life even easier &konqueror; will
automatically supply these without troubling you. </para>
<note><para>If you try to access an &FTP; site that does not need a proper
username or password but which is too busy to accept any more connections,
&konqueror; often interprets the <quote>busy</quote> message as a request for
a name and password and will therefore pop up a dialog box asking you to
supply them.</para></note>
<para>Sites that are more concerned with security will need a proper username
and password, in which case &konqueror; will ask you for them or you can
include the username in the &URL; you type into the Location Toolbar, as
for example</para>
<screen>
<userinput>ftp://<replaceable>username</replaceable>@ftp.cia.org</userinput>
</screen>
<para>&konqueror; will then prompt you for the password.</para>
<para>&konqueror; can also support automatic logins as specified in a

<title>Configuring &konqueror;</title>
<para>In common with the rest of &kde;, &konqueror; is highly configurable, so
you can really get the look and feel that best fits your needs and
wishes.</para>
<sect1 id="configure-bars">
<title>Toolbars</title>
<para>When &kde; is newly installed, &konqueror;'s window contains a Menubar,
Main and Location Toolbars and possibly a Bookmark Toolbar.</para>
<para>Maybe you don't need all these toolbars. To hide one of them, go into
the <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guisubmenu>Toolbars Shown</guisubmenu>
</menuchoice> menu and uncheck its box. To show a hidden toolbar, just check
the box.</para>
<para>The Menubar itself can be toggled on and off with the shortcut key
combination <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>M</keycap></keycombo>.
</para>
<para>If you <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on a Toolbar, you
will get a menu to configure this bar. You can lock or unlock the toolbar position
and choose the text position, icon size and the orientation of unlocked bars.</para>
<para>If the toolbars are unlocked, on the left hand end of each bar you can see
some handles. By &LMB; clicking on them, you can drag a bar into a new position
and even detach it from the window and place it anywhere on your screen.</para>
<para>The icons shown in the various bars can be changed by using the
<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Configure
Toolbars...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> option, which brings up the
<guilabel>Configure Toolbars</guilabel> dialog box. The

<title>&konqueror; the File Manager</title>
<sect1 id="dirfolders">
<title>Folders and Paths</title>
<para>In &UNIX; and &Linux; all folders are arranged in a simple
hierarchy. Starting from a top level folder (also called the root directory),
the structure descends and branches containing various files and subfolders.
This means that you can get from any folder to any other by going <quote>up
</quote> until you reach a common point then <quote>down</quote> through
the appropriate subfolders until you reach your target.</para>
<para>The position of any file or folder in the structure (also called a
directory tree) can be described by its <quote>path</quote>, which is a simple
list of the folders you would have to descend through to get to the target
folder or file. For example <filename class="directory">/home/pam</filename>
is the subfolder <filename class="directory">pam</filename> of the subfolder
<filename class="directory">home</filename> of the top level folder, and
<filename>/home/pam/words.txt</filename> is the file <filename>words.txt
</filename> in that subfolder. The leading <quote>/</quote> in these paths
represents the top level folder.</para>
<para>Every folder accessible by your system &mdash; including those on
other hard disk partitions, a USB device or &CD-ROM; &mdash; will appear
in the tree descending from /, their exact paths will depend on how your system
was set up (see also the section on <link linkend="removable-devices">Removable Devices</link>).
</para>
<para>Every user on a &UNIX; / &Linux; system has their own <quote>home</quote>
folder to hold their personal files and settings; for example
<filename class="directory">/home/john</filename> and
<filename class="directory">/home/mary</filename>. The
symbol <keycap>~</keycap> is often used to represent the user's home
folder, so that <filename>~/letter.txt</filename> refers to the file
<filename>letter.txt</filename> in my home folder.</para>
<para>Note that the term <quote>directory</quote> is often used instead of
<quote>folder</quote>.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="viewmode">
<title>View Modes</title>
<para>In File Manager mode, &konqueror; lists which files and subfolders are
contained within a given folder and can provide you with some information about
them. The <quote>path</quote> of the current folder is shown in the Location
Toolbar. The way that &konqueror; displays the files and folders depends mainly
on your choice of view mode which can be selected from the
<menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guisubmenu>View
Mode</guisubmenu></menuchoice > sub menu. The view modes &konqueror; provides
are outlined below.
</para>
<note><para>In File Manager mode, &konqueror; uses an embedded &dolphin;
component.</para></note>
<!-- begin copy from dolphin docbook synced for 4.10-->
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
In the <guibutton>Icons</guibutton> view, which is the default, files will be
represented by an icon that visualizes the file type, and a folder icon will be
shown for subfolders. The names of folders and files are displayed below the icons.
<!--FIXME + any selected item from View->Additional Information-->
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
The <guilabel>Compact</guilabel> view shows the folder contents as icons with
the name <!--FIXME + any selected item from View->Additional Information-->
beside it grouped in columns similar to the <guilabel>Short View</guilabel>
in the &kde; file dialog.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
In the <guibutton>Details</guibutton> view, the folder contents are displayed
as a detailed list which contains the name, size and last modification time of
each item. Additional columns can be added by clicking a column header with the
&RMB;.
</para>
<para>In the context menu of the header line you can choose between custom or automatic
column width. Automatic width adjusts the width of all columns once to display the longest
item in the column completely, except for the <guilabel>Name</guilabel> column where
the extension is replaced by "..."
<!--FIXME change width manually = automatic is disabled-->
</para>
<para>The order of columns can be changed by drag and drop of column headers.
<!--, except for the Name column.FIXME regression? leave it out?-->
</para>
<para>
The details view allows you to view a directory in a tree-like fashion if the
<guilabel>Expandable folders</guilabel> option is enabled.
Each subfolder of the current folder can be
<quote>expanded</quote> or <quote>collapsed</quote> by clicking on the
<guiicon>&gt;</guiicon> or <guiicon>v</guiicon> icon next to it.

lets you enable file previews for certain types of file.</para>
<para>Generally this means that the file's icon will be replaced by a small
image showing the file contents.</para>
<para>Because &konqueror; has to read much more data than just the file name
to generate a preview, file previews may not be appropriate when viewing
files from a remote system. To disable previews for remote files where reading
the extra data would take too long set a file size limit at the bottom of the
<guilabel>Previews</guilabel> tab.</para>

<para>&kde; provides many applications which can open many different

<para>Although &konqueror; is a very powerful and flexible
<acronym>GUI</acronym> file manager, there are occasions when the experienced
&Linux; / &UNIX; user wants to get down to the basics and work at the text
command line level.</para>
<para>You can, of course, open an instance of &konsole;, perhaps with
&konqueror;'s Menubar <menuchoice><guimenu>Tools</guimenu><guimenuitem>Open

<keycap>E</keycap></keycombo>) opens a small command line dialog window where
you can enter a shell command such as <userinput>ps -ax | grep kdeinit
</userinput>. Note that it does not support full featured terminal control
characters, so applications such as <userinput>top</userinput> and <userinput>
less</userinput> will not work properly, but it is available immediately
without the delay involved in starting &konsole;.
</para>
<para>For more complex operations, &konqueror; has another nice feature: the
Menubar <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Show Terminal
Emulator</guimenuitem></menuchoice> option, which opens up a terminal window as
a new view within &konqueror;. As long as the link icon is visible at the
bottom right corner of each view, the terminal will follow any folder changes
you make in the normal file manager view.</para>

minitools (Bookmarklets - Enables the use of bookmarklets)
This plugin adds implementation for so-called bookmarklets. Bookmarklets are little
Javascript programs which can be saved and used like normal web page bookmarks. Therefore,
they are simple "one-click" tools that can add substantial functionality to the browser.

autorefresh
This works on any readonly part (though currently it only plugs into
khtmlpart). It lets you tell konqueror to refresh a page automatically
after a specific period. This is useful for things like news pages,
and should be very nice for people using kiosk mode

<title>Saving Settings &amp; Profiles</title>
<sect1 id="save-settings-general">
<title>General Settings</title>
<para>When you close down &konqueror; your current <guimenu>View</guimenu>
menu settings (such as the <guimenuitem>View Mode</guimenuitem>,
<guimenuitem>Use index.html</guimenuitem> and <guimenuitem>Show Hidden Files
</guimenuitem> items) are not automatically saved as the default
options; however, you can have &konqueror; remember these settings by
selecting <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Save View
Profile As...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and the current
setting will become the default option to be used the next time
&konqueror; is started.</para>
<para>But you can also specify different <guimenu>View</guimenu> menu settings
for an individual folder. To do this select <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu>
<guimenuitem>Adjust View Properties...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>,
change the <guimenu>View</guimenu> settings in the dialog to whatever you want. Then apply
the view properties to the <guilabel>Current folder</guilabel>. Doing this
creates a <filename>.directory</filename> file in that folder to hold the
folder <guimenu>View</guimenu> settings. Use this dialog again to remove the folder specific
settings (or just delete the <filename>.directory</filename> file).</para>
<note><para>One nice use of this feature is if you have a folder full of
pictures, you can set that particular folder to display thumbnails of the
pictures (by choosing the <menuchoice><guisubmenu>View Mode</guisubmenu>
<guimenuitem>Icons</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and <guimenuitem>Preview</guimenuitem>
from the <guimenu>View</guimenu> menu) when you open it, while
not displaying images as thumbnails in other folders.</para></note>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="save-settings-view-profiles">
<title>View Profiles</title>
<para>&konqueror; can save a whole set of options as a <quote>View
Profile</quote>. Some view profiles are part of the standard &konqueror;
installation, such as <property>Web Browsing</property>, <property>File
Management</property>, <property>KDE Development</property>,
<property>Midnight Commander</property> and <property>Tabbed Browsing</property>;
but you can add your own, too.</para>
<para>To modify a view profile (say, the <property>Web Browsing</property>
profile), load the profile with
<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guisubmenu>Load View
Profile</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Web Browsing</guimenuitem> </menuchoice>, and
change the &konqueror; settings to whatever you want. Now select
<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Save View Profile As...
</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. In the dialog which appears, you can
change the name of the profile, which will create a new profile with that name,
or you can leave the name as it is to modify the current profile. If you select
<guilabel>Save URLs in profile</guilabel>, the current &URL; will be loaded
when you load that view profile. This functions in a similar way to the
<quote>Home Page</quote> in many web browsers. If you want &konqueror; to start
up with an empty window enter <userinput>about:blank</userinput> into the
location bar before saving the profile.</para>
<note><para>You can create a desktop icon to start &konqueror; with your new
profile. First create a desktop icon by clicking with the &RMB; onto the &konqueror;
entry in the application launcher menu. Then select <guimenuitem>Add to Desktop</guimenuitem>
in the context menu. Open the settings dialog of the new icon on your desktop by
clicking on the <guiicon>Tools</guiicon> icon. Change <guilabel>
Command</guilabel> in the <guilabel>Application</guilabel> tab page to
<userinput><command>kfmclient</command> <option>openProfile
<replaceable>MyNewProfile</replaceable></option></userinput>,
<replaceable>MyNewProfile</replaceable> being what you called the new
profile. Then change the name to something like <filename>MyNewProfile</filename>

<title>&fsview; - the File System View</title>
<sect2>
<title>Introduction</title>
<para>The &fsview; Plugin for &konqueror; is another view mode for
objects of mimetype <literal>inode/directory</literal> for local
files. It can be viewed as an alternative to the various iconviews and
listviews for browsing the content of your local file system.</para>
<para>The unique property of &fsview; is its ability to show whole
nested folder hierarchies using a so-called tree map for graphical
visualization. Tree maps allow for displaying metrics of objects in
nested structures: each object is represented by a rectangle whose
area is proportional to its metric. The sum of the children's metrics must be
equal to or smaller than the parent object's metric.</para>
<para>For &fsview;, sizes of files and folders are chosen as the
metric, where the size of a folder is defined to be the sum of the
sizes of its subitems. This way, big files even deep down in the
folder hierarchy can be spotted easily be looking for large
rectangles. So &fsview; can be looked at as a graphical and interactive
version of the &UNIX; <command>du</command> command.</para>
<para>The integration of &fsview; as part of Konqueror allows it to
use the standard features such as context file menus, and mime type
sensitive actions. But it was chosen not to implement automatic
update by watching file system changes: if you delete a file shown
in &fsview; outside of &konqueror;, you have to update manually by
&eg; pressing <keycap>F5</keycap> to see the change. The reason for this
decision is the potentially huge number of files which would have to be watched
for changes, and thus, could put an unreasonable pressure on system
resources for a small feature.</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Visualization Features</title>
<para>This section explains the graphical visualization of &fsview;
in detail.</para>
<sect3>
<title>Item Drawing Options</title>
<para>In &fsview;, an item of the tree map visualization is a rectangle
representing a file or folder of your file system. For easier navigation,
rectangles have meaningful coloring and labeling options.</para>
<para>The color of a rectangle, switchable via menu item
<menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guisubmenu>Color
Mode</guisubmenu></menuchoice> can be either representative of
<guimenuitem>Depth</guimenuitem>, for easy detection of nesting, or
a color mapping of different file attributes such as name, owner, group,
or mime type.</para>
<para>A rectangle can be labeled with the various attributes
of the corresponding file or folder. For each attribute, you can
choose whether it should be shown at all, only if space is available,
or if space should be taken from children (thus introducing
errors to pure tree map drawing constraints). Additionally, you can choose
the relative location of the label in the rectangle.</para>
</sect3>
<sect3>
<title>TreeMap Drawing Algorithms</title>
<para>For drawing algorithms in tree maps, the rule that the area
is proportional to the metric of an item should hold true.
With the tree map in &fsview;, this goal isn't always met: we draw borders
to show the nesting of items, and this border takes space for an item
which is possibly lost for the areas of child items. Note that
less space is lost for the border if the rectangle is quadratic.</para>
<para>Similarly, it is better for a good overview to let each rectangle
at least have its name as a label. It is an option to
always force space for labels, or only to draw labels when empty space
is available. In the latter case, the tool tips appearing when the
mouse is held over an item can help a lot. They show
information for the item the mouse is currently over, together with
its parent folders up to the root item of the tree map.</para>
<para>How the space of an item is split into subareas for children is
left to the implementation. It is always better to try to split areas
in such a way that rectangles are as quadratic as possible, both for
labeling and less space lost by borders. The best methods in this
regard are <guilabel>Rows</guilabel>, <guilabel>Columns</guilabel>, or
<guilabel>Recursive Bisection</guilabel>.</para>
<para>You can choose the minimal area of items to be drawn via the
menu item <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu><guimenuitem>Stop at
Area</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. Instead, a hash pattern will be drawn
over the parents area to signal that this space is in fact occupied by
a child or children.</para>
</sect3>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>User Interface</title>
<para>&fsview; supports multiple selection of items, similar to the
iconview and listview. This allows for actions to be done
simultaneously to a set of files. A simple mouse click always selects
a single item below the mouse pointer. Use a mouse click in
combination with pressing the &Shift; key for range selection or the
&Ctrl; key for selection toggle. Note that by selecting an item, subitems can no
longer be selected. Selecting an item will also clear the selection of all its
parent items before.</para>
<para>Keyboard navigation is available in tree maps: use
<keycap>Left Arrow</keycap> and <keycap>Right Arrow</keycap> keys to
move the current item between siblings, and the <keycap>Up
Arrow</keycap> and <keycap>Down Arrow</keycap> keys to go up and down
the nesting hierarchy. <keycap>Space</keycap> selects the item; in
conjunction with &Shift; does range selection; and with the &Ctrl; key
held down simultaneously, toggles selection of the current item. Press
<keycap>Return</keycap> to run the open action on the current item.</para>
