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

Konversation and 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 -> Default Applications -> Web Browser.
Select in the following browser: and insert into the input field the command for your favorite browser
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 -> Configure Konversation... -> Behavior -> General
In this menu, check the checkbox for "Use custom Web browser:" and in the input box, fill in a browser specific command
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 and Mozilla

Firefox and 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.

See remote control of unix mozilla for more information.
