Abstract
Konqueror is not only a versatile file manager. It is also a modern Web browser. 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. To load a Web page, enter its address in the
location bar, for example, http://www.suse.com. Konqueror now
tries to reach the address and display 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 .
You can save your tabs with URLs and the position of the window in a profile. This is a bit different from the session managment mentioned above. With profiles, you have your saved tabs at hand and without intensive start-up time like with session management.
In Konqueror, go to + and give your profile a name. You can save the window size in the profile, too, with the respective option. Make sure that is selected. Approve with . Next time you need your “tab collection,” go to + and see the name listed in the menu. After selecting the name, Konqueror restores your tabs.
