Introduction
Welcome to the K Desktop Environment User Guide.
This book is intended to be an introduction to the K Desktop Environment as a whole, with a broad description of the user interface, some practical examples on how to use for daily work, and some hints on how to customize the desktop.
Included is a table of shortcuts, and some tips and tricks intended to help you find your way around quickly and efficiently.
This book is not a guide to the use of the individual applications, as they each have their own User Manual. However, is an integrated environment — what you learn in this manual and in your own exploration of 's interface is consistent and readily transferrable between applications.
This book also explores some of the philosophy behind and some of its history, and rounds out with how to find more information, should you need it.
