On this page you can find information about how to make konversation open links in your favorite browser.

==Konversation &amp; KDE Components==
Konversation makes use of KDE's default browser setting to open links in a browser. To set your default browser;

# Open '''System Settings''' &rarr; '''Default Applications''' &rarr; '''Web Browser'''.
# Select "'''in the following browser:'''" and insert [[Browsers_and_Konversation#Browser specific commands|the command for your favorite browser]] in the input field.
# Click '''Apply'''.

==Alternative way of making konversation open links==
If for whichever reason KDE components is not available to you (for example when you're using a different window manager and would still like to use konversation), it is possible to specify your favorite browser inside of Konversation. To do this;

# In Konversation, click on '''Settings''' &rarr; '''Configure Konversation...''' &rarr; '''Behavior''' &rarr; '''General'''
# In this menu, check the checkbox for "'''Use custom Web browser:'''" and fill in a [[Browsers_and_Konversation#Browser specific commands|browser specific command]] in the input box.
# Click '''Apply'''.

==Browser specific commands==

===Opera===

* To make links open in a new tab use:
 opera -newpage

* To make links open in a new window:
 opera -newwindow

For a full list of command parameters refer to '''opera --help'''
===Firefox & Mozilla===

Firefox & Mozilla use a remote control script that will send commands to an already existing process.

* To make links open in a new tab use:
 firefox -remote "openURL(%u,new-tab)"

* To make links open in a new window use:
 firefox -remote "openURL(%u,new-window)"

Of course, if you use Mozilla instead of Firefox, you need to substitute ''firefox'' with ''mozilla'' in the above command.
