Konqueror is a modern Web browser, but can also be used as a file
manager. However, to manage your files and directories, it is recommended
using Dolphin. If you start the browser with the icon in the panel,
Konqueror opens with the Web browser profile. As a browser, Konqueror
offers tabbed browsing, the possibility of saving Web pages with
graphics, Internet keywords, bookmarks, and support for Java and
JavaScript.

<a class="indexterm" name="id536365"></a> Start Konqueror from the main menu or by entering the command
<span class="command"><strong>konqueror</strong></span>. If Konqueror does not start, check if the
package <code class="systemitem">konqueror</code> is
installed. To load a Web page, enter its address in the location bar, for
example <a class="ulink" href="http://www.opensuse.org" target="_top">http://www.opensuse.org</a>. Konqueror now attempts to
reach the address and displays the page. Entering the protocol at the
beginning of the address (<code class="systemitem">http://</code> in this case)
is not strictly required. The program is able to complete the address
automatically, but this only works reliably with Web addresses. For an FTP
address, always enter <code class="literal">ftp://</code> at the beginning of the
input field.
</p><div class="sect1" title="13.1. Tabbed Browsing"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="sec.konq.tabbedbrowsing"></a>13.1.

If you often use more than one Web page at a time, tabbed browsing may
make it easier to switch between them. Load Web sites in separate tabs
within one window. The advantage is that you keep more control over your
desktop because you only have one main window. After logout, the KDE
session management allows you to save your Web session in Konqueror. The
next time you log in, Konqueror loads the exact URLs visited last time.
</p><p>
To open a new tab, select <span class="guimenu">Window</span>+<span class="guimenu">New Tab</span> or press <span class="keycap">Ctrl</span>+<span class="keycap">T</span>.
To change the behavior of tabs, go to <span class="guimenu">Settings</span>+<span class="guimenu">Configure Konqueror</span>. In the dialog box that opens, select
<span class="guimenu">General</span> and enable <span class="guimenu">Open links in new tab
instead of in new window</span>. You can also hide the tab bar with
<span class="guimenu">Hide the tab bar When only one tab is open</span>.
</p></div><div class="sect1" title="13.2. Automatic Scrolling"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="sec.konq.automaticscrolling"></a>13.2.

In general, scrolling with the mouse is the normal way to view
information further down a page. However, there are occasions when it is
preferable not to use a mouse. It can be very convenient to use key
combinations instead of removing your hands from the keyboard.
</p><p>
To scroll down automatically, use <span class="keycap">Shift</span>+<span class="keycap">↓</span>. This scrolls down the page without further intervention.
Increase the speed by pressing <span class="keycap">Shift</span>+<span class="keycap">↓</span> again. Pressing
<span class="keycap">Shift</span>+<span class="keycap">↑</span> slows down. To stop
scrolling, use <span class="keycap">↓</span>.

<a class="xref" href="cha.konqueror.html#sec.konq.tabbedbrowsing" title="13.1. Tabbed Browsing">Section 13.1, “Tabbed Browsing”</a> described how to handle tabs in
Konqueror. You can save your tabs with URLs and the position of the
window in a profile. This differs from the session management already
mentioned. With profiles, your saved tabs are at hand without the
intensive start-up time of session management.
</p><p>
To create a profile, do the following:
</p><div class="procedure"><ol class="procedure" type="1"><li><p>
Go to <span class="guimenu">Settings</span>+<span class="guimenu">Configure View
Profiles</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
In the dialog box that appears, insert a name in <span class="guimenu">Profile
Name</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
To save your URLs, select <span class="guimenu">Save URLs in Profile</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Approve with <span class="guimenu">Save</span>.
</p></li></ol></div><p>
The next time you need your tab collection, go to <span class="guimenu">Settings</span>+<span class="guimenu">Load View Profile</span> and find the name listed in the menu. After you select it,
Konqueror restores your tabs.
</p></div><div class="sect1" title="13.4. Saving Web Pages and Graphics"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="sec.konq.saving"></a>13.4.

As in other browsers, you can save Web pages. To do this, select
<span class="guimenu">File</span>+<span class="guimenu">Save As</span> and specify a name for your HTML file. However, images are
not saved. To archive an entire Web page including the images, select
<span class="guimenu">Tools</span>+<span class="guimenu">Archive Web Page</span>. Konqueror suggests a filename that you can usually accept.
The filename ends with <code class="filename">.war</code>, the extension for Web
archives. To view the saved Web archive later, simply click the relevant
file and the Web page is displayed in Konqueror along with images.
</p></div><div class="sect1" title="13.5. Searching with Konqueror"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="sec.konq.searching"></a>13.5.

Searching with Konqueror is very convenient. You can use the search bar
or Web shortcuts.
</p><div class="sect2" title="13.5.1. Using the Search Bar"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="sec.konq.searchbar"></a>13.5.1. Using the Search Bar<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#sec.konq.searchbar">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
Konqueror contains a search bar where you can choose from many search
engines. If you want to search for a specific term, proceed as follows:
</p><div class="procedure"><ol class="procedure" type="1"><li><p>
Locate the search bar in Konqueror. It is on the right side after the
location bar.
</p></li><li><p>
Click the icon inside the search bar. Choose a search engine from the
pop-up menu.
</p></li><li><p>
Insert your search term and press
<span class="keycap">Enter</span>. The result is displayed in
Konqueror.
</p></li></ol></div><p>
If you need a search engine that is not listed in the pop-up menu, add
it as follows:
</p><div class="procedure" title="Procedure 13.1. Adding More Search Engines"><a name="id536823"></a><p class="title"><b>Procedure 13.1. Adding More Search Engines</b></p><ol class="procedure" type="1"><li><p>
In Konqueror, click the icon in the search bar.
</p></li><li><p>
Choose <span class="guimenu">Select Search Engines...</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Make sure that <span class="guimenu">Enable web shortcuts</span> is activated.
</p></li><li><p>
Enable the relevant search engine and close the dialog with
<span class="guimenu">OK</span>. You can see your selected search engine when
you click the icon in the search bar.
</p></li></ol></div></div><div class="sect2" title="13.5.2. Using Web Shortcuts"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="sec.konq.webshortcut"></a>13.5.2. Using Web Shortcuts<span class="permalink"><a alt="Permalink" title="Copy Permalink" href="#sec.konq.webshortcut">¶</a></span></h3></div></div></div><p>
Each search engine defined is attached to a <span class="emphasis"><em>web
shortcut</em></span>. This shortcut can be entered in the location bar.
</p><p>
To see which search engines are already defined, go to <span class="guimenu">Settings</span>+<span class="guimenu">Configure Konqueror</span>+<span class="guimenu">Web Browsing</span>+<span class="guimenu">Web Shortcuts</span>. You can see the names of the search providers and the
shortcuts. Konqueror defines many search engines: Google, Yahoo, Lycos,
and a number of less common resources like an acronym database, the
Internet movie database, and KDE application searches.
</p><p>
If you do not find your preferred search engine here, you are able to
define a new one very easily. For example, to search our home page for
some interesting articles, go to
<a class="ulink" href="http://en.opensuse.org/" target="_top">http://en.opensuse.org/</a>, enter your query and look
for the appropriate results.
</p><div class="procedure" title="Procedure 13.2. Creating New Web Shortcuts"><a name="id536936"></a><p class="title"><b>Procedure 13.2. Creating New Web Shortcuts</b></p><ol class="procedure" type="1"><li><p>
Go to the search bar, click the icon, and select <span class="guimenu">Select
Search Engines</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Make sure that <span class="guimenu">Enable web shortcuts</span> is activated.
</p></li><li><p>
Click <span class="guimenu">New</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Create a new web shortcut:
</p><ol type="a" class="substeps"><li><p>
Assign your web shortcut a name in <span class="guimenu">Search provider
name</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Enter the search URI. For example, if you want to search in
openSUSE, use
<a class="ulink" href="http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Search?search=%5C%7B@%7D" target="_top">http://en.opensuse.org/Special:Search?search=\{@}</a>.
The search query is specified as <code class="literal">\{@}</code>. Get more
information by clicking in the text field labeled with
<span class="guimenu">Search URI</span> and pressing <span class="keycap">Shift</span>+<span class="keycap">F1</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Enter your abbreviations in <span class="guimenu">URI Shortcuts</span>. There
you can enter more than one, separated by commas.
</p></li></ol></li><li><p>
Proceed with <span class="guimenu">OK</span>.
</p></li></ol></div><p>
After creating a new Web shortcut, you can use it in the location bar.
The result is displayed in the current window.
</p><div class="tip"><table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="100%" summary="Tip: Using Shortcuts Directly without Opening Konqueror"><tr class="head"><td width="32"><img alt="[Tip]" src="admon/tip.png"></td><th align="left">Using Shortcuts Directly without Opening Konqueror</th></tr><tr><td colspan="2" align="left" valign="top"><p>
You do not need to open Konqueror and enter the Web shortcut. You can
use it directly: select <span class="guimenu">Run Command</span> from the main
menu or press <span class="keycap">Alt</span>+<span class="keycap">F2</span>. After the dialog box appears, enter
your shortcut, a colon (:), and your search term.

Instead of remembering and reentering addresses for sites visited often,
you can bookmark these URLs using the <span class="guimenu">Bookmark</span> menu.
As well as Web page addresses, you can also bookmark the directories of
your local disk in this way.
</p><p>
To create a new bookmark in Konqueror, click <span class="guimenu">Bookmarks</span>+<span class="guimenu">Add Bookmark</span>. Any previously added bookmarks are included as items in
the menu. It is a good idea to arrange the bookmark collection by
subjects in a hierarchical structure, so that you do not lose track of
the different items. Create a new subgroup for your bookmarks with
<span class="guimenu">New Bookmark Folder</span>. Selecting <span class="guimenu">Bookmarks</span>+<span class="guimenu">Edit Bookmarks</span> opens the bookmark editor. Use this program to organize,
rearrange, add, and delete bookmarks.
</p><p>
If you are using Netscape, Mozilla, or Firefox as additional browsers, it
is not necessary to recreate your bookmarks. <span class="guimenu">File</span>+<span class="guimenu">Import</span>+<span class="guimenu">Import
Netscape Bookmarks</span> in the bookmark editor enables
you to integrate your Netscape and Mozilla bookmarks into your most
current collection. The reverse is also possible via <span class="guimenu">Export as
Netscape Bookmarks</span>.
</p><p>
Change your bookmarks by right-clicking the entry. A pop-up menu appears
in which to select the desired action (cut, copy, delete, etc.). When you
are satisfied with the result, save the bookmarks with <span class="guimenu">File</span>+<span class="guimenu">Save</span>. If you
only want to change the name or link, just right-click the entry in the
bookmark toolbar and select <span class="guimenu">Properties</span>. Change the
name and location and confirm with <span class="guimenu">Update</span>.
</p><p>
To save your bookmark list and have instant access to it, make your
bookmarks visible in Konqueror. Select <span class="guimenu">Settings</span>+<span class="guimenu">Toolbars</span>+<span class="guimenu">Bookmark
Toolbar (Konqueror)</span>. A bookmark panel is
automatically displayed in the current Konqueror window.
</p></div><div class="sect1" title="13.7. Java and JavaScript"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="sec.konq.java"></a>13.7.

Do not confuse these two languages. Java <a class="indexterm" name="id537278"></a> is an object-oriented, platform-independent programming
language from Sun Microsystems. It is frequently used for small programs
(applets), which are executed over the Internet for things like online
banking, chatting, and shopping. JavaScript <a class="indexterm" name="id537287"></a> is an interpreted scripting language mainly used for the
dynamic structuring of Web pages, for example, for menus and other
effects.
</p><p>
Konqueror allows you to enable or disable these two languages. This can
even be done in a domain-specific way, which means that you can permit
access for some hosts and block access for others. Java and JavaScript
are often disabled for security reasons. Unfortunately, some Web pages
require JavaScript for correct display.

Some Web pages open annoying advertisements. With the help of Konqueror,
these windows can be blocked. Proceed as follows:
</p><div class="procedure" title="Procedure 13.3. Blocking Advertisements"><a name="id537319"></a><p class="title"><b>Procedure 13.3. Blocking Advertisements</b></p><ol class="procedure" type="1"><li><p>

</p></li><li><p>
Activate <span class="guimenu">Enable filters</span>.
</p></li><li><p>
Enter an expression for the Web page to filter. For example:
</p><pre class="screen">http://www.example.com/*</pre><p>
This filters everything that comes from that URL.
</p></li><li><p>
Click <span class="guimenu">Insert</span>.
</p></li></ol></div><p>
If you need the entries on another computer, click
<span class="guimenu">Export</span>, save the file, move it to your other computer
and import it there in Konqueror from the same dialog box.

For any questions or problems that arise when working with Konqueror,
