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 re-
quired. 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.
14.1 Tabbed Browsing
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 ad-
vantage 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 Window > New Tab or press Ctrl + Shift + N . To change the
behavior of tabs, go to Settings > Configure Konqueror. In the dialog box that opens,
select Web Behavior > Tabbed Browsing. To open new tabs instead of windows, enable
Open links in new tab instead of in new window. You can also hide the tab bar with
Hide the tab bar when only one tab is open. To see more options, press Advanced Op-
tions.
14.2 Automatic Scrolling
In general, scrolling with the mouse is the normal way to view information farther down
a Web page. However, there are sometimes occasions when it is preferable not to use
a mouse. It can be very convenient to use key combinations instead of removing hands
from the keyboard.
To scroll down automatically, use Shift + ↓ . This scrolls down the page without further
intervention. Increase the speed by pressing Shift + ↓ again. Pressing Shift + ↑ slows
down. To stop scrolling, use ↓ .
