Pestanas

O uso de pestanas en Konqueror é similar ao uso das pestanas noutras moitas aplicacións de KDE. Podes crear unha pestana nova no menú, Arquivo. Podes atopar formas de interactuar con pestanas facendo clic co botón dereito en calquera pestana que teñas aberta. Tamén podes mover pestanas facendo clic co botón central do ratón e arrastrándoas dun lado a outro da barra.

Marcadores

Os marcadores permítenche gardar direccións URL de forma que poidas cargalas fácilmente máis tarde desde Konqueror, ou ata desde unha aplicación externa como Krunner.

In order to save a web page in your bookmarks, navigate to it and then click in Bookmarks -> Add Bookmark (default shotcut is Ctrl+B). Next time we click on Bookmarks we'll see the new bookmark in the list.

To rename bookmarks and group them in folders, go to Bookmarks -> Edit Bookmarks....

Sessions

Sessions are saved Konqueror status. You can i.e. save a Konqueror session when you have certain web pages opened in Konqueror (in any combination of tabs or windows), and you will be able to open then whenever you want from the sessions list, and they will be opened the same way you had them when saving the session.

To save a session, make sure the only opened Konqueror instances are those you want to save, and then go to File -> Sessions -> Save As... and choose a name for the session. Then, you will have the session listed in File -> Sessions. You can later manage your different sessions from File -> Sessions -> Manage....

Frames

Frames allow you to view multiple locations, documents or websites in a single window under a single tab by splitting the window. This can be used e.g. to view multiple web pages at once, to copy files from one location to another (either from one folder to another or from a remote location like an FTP site or a shared network folder), view or compare two documents at the same time and for many other possibilities. To use frames, either go to the Window menu or right-click on the status bar at the bottom of the window and select either Split view left/right or Split view top/bottom. You can also create or remove frames using the short-cuts displayed in the Window menu for each action. You can control each view by clicking on it and interacting with it as usual.

Konqueror as a web browser

Konqueror is the built-in web browser. It has fast, standards-compliant HTML and JavaScript rendering engines, KHTML and KJS respectively, which are most noted for being Apple's choice for developing the popular Webkit rendering engine, chosen for its speed and standards-compliance. It also has support for various Firefox-compatible plug-ins, Java, several image formats, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections and more. To see all of Konqueror's supported standards, navigate to, about:konqueror/specs in a Konqueror window.

KHTML vs. Webkit

Since Nokia ported Webkit into their toolkit in Qt 4.5, there has been a lot of discussion about replacing KHTML with Webkit in Konqueror. The KDE developers have written a WebKit component (KPart) which can replace KHTML which is still the default rendering engine. At some point in the future that default might change, but for now the WebKit KPart is an optional component you will have to install if you want to use it. Besides Konqueror, there are a few other KDE browsers in development which make use of WebKit by default, (Arora and Rekonq, for example.)

Konqueror as a file manager

Konqueror uses the Dolphin KPart for file management, giving it all the abilities of Dolphin. It includes many configuration options under the Settings menu -> Configure Konqueror... -> File Manager configuration dialogue. Changes applied here will affect Dolphin and vice versa. For all of Konqueror's file-management capabilities, check Dolphin's page.

Konqueror is also a universal viewing application, thanks to its ability to embed audio, video and document viewers.

Hints and Tips

Look up a Wikipedia entry

Can you look up words in Wikipedia in record-speed? Imagine a colleague comes in and talks about ISCSI. Don't you know what it is? No problem, just type

wp:ISCSI

in your Konqueror browser and ENTER. You will be shown the Wikipedia (wp) article on iscsi.

Format a man page for easy reading

Type in

man:rsync

to get the whole information about using rsync, in a form that's easy on the eye and better for printing, too.
