Abstract
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 to use 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.
Start Konqueror from the main menu or by entering the command
konqueror. If Konqueror does not start, check if the
package kde4-konqueror is
installed. To load a Web page, enter its address in the location bar, for
example, http://www.opensuse.org. Konqueror now tries to
reach the address and displays the page. Entering the protocol at the
beginning of the address (http:// 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 ftp:// at the beginning of the
input field.
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 for saving your Web session in Konqueror. The next time you log in, Konqueror loads the exact URLs visited last time.
To open a new tab, select + or press Ctrl+Shift+N. To change the behavior of tabs, go to +. In the dialog box that opens, select +. To open new tabs instead of windows, enable . You can also hide the tab bar with . To see more options, press .
