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

    Konversation & KDE Components

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

    1. Open System SettingsDefault ApplicationsWeb Browser.
    2. Select "in the following browser:" and insert the command for your favorite browser in the input field.
    3. 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;

    1. In Konversation, click on SettingsConfigure Konversation...BehaviorGeneral
    2. In this menu, check the checkbox for "Use custom Web browser:" and fill in a browser specific command in the input box.
    3. 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.

    See remote control of unix mozilla for more information.
