The Handbook
is 's advanced File Manager, Web Browser and Universal Viewing Application.
This document describes version 3.0.0

Basics
Like all applications, is highly configurable. This document describes how behaves with the normal, default, settings.
A three button mouse can be useful when you are running or any other application. If your mouse only has two buttons then you should be able to set your system up so that you can simulate a by pressing both buttons at the same time.
If you are used to having to double-click to perform an action, then take care, because in common with the rest of , defaults to single-clicking.

Starting
Being a combined File Manager and Browser, will automatically switch between the two modes as needed when it is running, but it is convenient to be able to choose which mode is to be used when you start it up.
If you have a house shaped icon on the panel or desktop, then click on it to open as a file manager.
Or click on world shaped icon on the panel or desktop to open in browser mode.
From the K menu, select Internet Konqueror Web Browser to start it as a browser.
Alt F2 will open a Run Command dialog box, type konqueror (lower case) and press Enter or the Run button to start in file manager mode, or just enter a URL such as http://www.konqueror.org to start as a browser.
is also started automatically when you left click on a desktop icon that represents a directory, such as the Trash icon, or a URL.

The Parts of
A brief look at the main parts of 's window:
Here's a screenshot of
The Titlebar is the strip across the top of 's window, and operates in the same way as for other applications. Right click on the central portion to bring up the neat Titlebar menu.
The Menubar is the strip containing the names of the drop-down menus, left click on a name to alternately show and hide that menu, or you can use Alt the underlined letter in the name as a hot key, for example Alt E to show the Edit menu. The various menus are described in the Menubar section of this document.
The Toolbar contains icons for commonly used operations. Hover the mouse pointer over an icon to see a brief description of what that icon does, left click to activate the icon. Click the right mouse button on a clear area of the Toolbar to change the appearance and position of the Toolbar.
The Locationbar shows the path to the directory, URL or file being viewed. You can type a path or URL here and press Enter or left click on the Go icon at the right hand end of the Locationbar to go to it. The black icon at the left hand end of the Locationbar clears the text entry box.
The Bookmark Toolbar is the area under the Locationbar in the previous screenshot. You can add frequently used bookmarks here, see the Organising Your Bookmarks section of this document.
The Window is the main area of and can show you the contents of a directory, a web page, document or image. Using the Window menu you can split 's main window into one or more separate views, useful for drag and drop operations.
The Status Bar runs across the bottom of the window and often shows general information about whatever the mouse pointer is hovering over. If you have split the main window into a number of views you will get an Status Bar for each view, and it will include a small light at the left hand end to show which is the active view. Right clicking on the Status Bar brings up the Status Bar Right Mouse Button Menu.
Don't worry if your doesn't look exactly like this screenshot, it is highly configurable. In particular:
You can use the Settings menu to choose whether to show or hide the Menubar, Toolbar, Locationbar and Bookmark Toolbar.
You can also flatten the Toolbar, Locationbar and Bookmark Toolbar by clicking on the vertical lines at the left hand end of the bars or move them around by holding the down while you drag these bars around.
For more details of how to change 's appearance, see the Configuring section

Tooltips and What's This ?
You can find out a lot about how works without needing to read this entire document if you take advantage of Tooltips and the What's This? feature.
If Tooltips have been enabled in (K menu Control Center Look & Feel Widget Settings, Enable Tooltips) then when you hover the mouse pointer over a Toolbar button it should bring up a terse description of what that button does.
What's This? is invoked by the Menubar Help What's This ? item, by Shift F1, or by just clicking on the question mark near the top right hand corner of 's window. It changes the cursor to show a question mark alongside the arrow.
When this question mark is visible, a click won't actually do anything until you have clicked on a control (or the text alongside it) that supports What's This ?, in which case it will display a reasonably comprehensive description of what the control is supposed to do. Most of the dialog boxes that brings up support the What's This? feature.

Left and Middle Mouse Button Actions
If you click the on an item in 's window that item will be activated. Thus
Left click on an icon in the Toolbar to do whatever that icon is supposed to do.
Left click on an item in the Menubar to make that menu drop down.
Left click on a menu item to do that thing.
Left click on an icon in the Bookmark Toolbar to open that URL.
Left click on a link in a web page to make follow that link.
Left click on a directory icon or name and will descend into (show the contents of) that directory.
Left click on a file name or icon and will do whatever it thinks appropriate, based on the file type. In general this means opening HTML pages, or previewing text, image or KOffice files, showing them within 's window (Preview means that you can see the file but not change it).
decides what the file type is by matching the filename extension against a list of known types. If that fails it tries to guess the type from the file contents. You can change the list of known file types and associated actions and add new types, see the section File Associations.
Clicking the on a file or directory name or icon does essentially the same as left clicking except that it does it in a new window.

Right Mouse Button Menus
Clicking the on almost any part of 's window will bring up an appropriate context menu.
If you have enabled the Right click goes back in history option in the Browser configuration settings a simple right click is equivalent to clicking on the Back button. In this case you can access the context menu by moving the mouse with the right button held down.
On the Titlebar 	Right clicking on any free area of the Titlebar brings up the Titlebar Menu, allowing you to control the position of 's window as well as the decoration applied to all program windows.
On the Toolbar 	Right click on any free area of the Toolbar to bring up the Toolbar Menu. You can use it to control whether the Toolbar is at the top, bottom, left or right of 's window. You can also use the Toolbar Menu to set the size of the buttons on the Toolbar, and whether they are shown as icons, text or both.
On the Locationbar 	Right click in the URL entry box area to perform Cut, Copy, Paste or Clear operations in this area, or to change the automatic path completion features.
On the Bookmark Toolbar 	 If you have the Bookmark Toolbar showing, then right click on any free part of it to bring up the Bookmark Toolbar Menu which lets you change its position and whether items are shown as text, icons, or both.
Within a View 	If you right click on any free area of a view then you will get a menu that contains, among other options, the Up, Back, Forward and Reload navigation commands as well as the Create new option from the Edit menu.
On a File or Directory 	This is a most useful feature. Right clicking on the name or icon of any file or directory not only selects that item but also brings up a menu allowing you to Cut, Move, Copy or Remove the item in various ways, add it to your Bookmarks, open it with the program of your choice or preview it, rename it, or edit the file type or properties.
On the Status Bar 	Right click on the Status Bar at the bottom of a window or view to add or remove a view within 's window.
