<title
>Using Bookmarks</title>
<para
>Although you can use &konqueror;'s bookmarks to record the locations of your own files and folders, they are most useful when you are surfing the Web, letting you build up a list of useful sites.</para>
<para
>To open the <guimenu
>Bookmarks</guimenu
> menu you may either <mousebutton
>left</mousebutton
> click on the <guimenu
>Bookmarks</guimenu
> menu or use the <keycombo action="simul"
>&Alt;<keycap
>B</keycap
></keycombo
> shortcut. Once the list is visible, you can navigate through it with the arrow keys or with your mouse, then press &Enter; or <mousebutton
>left</mousebutton
> click to visit the selected location.</para>
<para
>To add a new item to the list use <menuchoice
><guimenu
>Bookmarks </guimenu
><guimenuitem
>Add Bookmark</guimenuitem
></menuchoice
> or <keycombo action="simul"
>&Ctrl;<keycap
>B</keycap
></keycombo
> or <mousebutton
>right</mousebutton
> click on a clear space in the web page or folder view and select <guimenuitem
>Bookmark this Location</guimenuitem
> from the pop up menu.</para>
<para
>The <guimenu
>Bookmarks</guimenu
> list can contain subfolders containing other bookmarks, you can create these with <menuchoice
><guimenu
>Bookmarks </guimenu
><guimenuitem
>New Bookmark Folder...</guimenuitem
></menuchoice
> . To add a bookmark into a subfolder rather than into the main Bookmark list, select the folder from within the <guimenu
>Bookmarks</guimenu
> list and use the <guimenuitem
>Add Bookmark</guimenuitem
> item in that folder.</para>
<para
>You can also access your bookmarks from the <link linkend="sidebar"
> <guilabel
>Navigation Panel</guilabel
></link
>.</para>
<sect1 id="orgbmark">
<title
>The Bookmark Editor</title>
<para
>The <menuchoice
><guimenu
>Bookmarks</guimenu
><guimenuitem
>Edit Bookmarks</guimenuitem
> </menuchoice
> option opens the <guilabel
>Bookmark Editor</guilabel
>.</para>
<para
>This shows a tree view of your bookmarks and bookmark subfolders. As is usual for tree views in &kde;, subfolders are shown with a small square at the left of the folder name; if the square contains a <keycap
>+</keycap
> sign <mousebutton
>left</mousebutton
> clicking on it will expand the view to show the contents of that subfolder and the <keycap
>+</keycap
> sign will change to <keycap
>-</keycap
>, <mousebutton
>left</mousebutton
> clicking on the <keycap
>-</keycap
> sign will collapse the subfolder view.</para>
<para
>To select an item in the list you can <mousebutton
>left</mousebutton
> click on it, or you can navigate through the list by using the <keysym
> Up arrow</keysym
> and <keysym
>Down arrow</keysym
> keys to move around, <keysym
>Right arrow</keysym
> to expand a subfolder and <keysym
> Left arrow</keysym
> to collapse it.</para>
<para
>You can move an item to a different place in the list by using the normal Drag and Drop or <guimenuitem
>Cut</guimenuitem
> and <guimenuitem
> Paste</guimenuitem
> methods. The order in which the items appear in the <guilabel
>Bookmark Editor</guilabel
> is the order they will appear in the <guimenu
>Bookmarks</guimenu
> drop down list. The <menuchoice
><guimenu
>Insert </guimenu
><guimenuitem
>Insert Separator</guimenuitem
></menuchoice
> option can be used to insert separating lines into the list wherever you wish.</para>
<para
>A new subfolder can be created at the selected point in the list by using the <guimenuitem
>Create New Folder...</guimenuitem
> option in the <guimenu
>Insert</guimenu
> menu or from the drop down menu you get when you <mousebutton
>right</mousebutton
> click on an item in the main part of the window, or with <keycombo action="simul"
>&Ctrl;<keycap
>N</keycap
></keycombo
> </para>
<para
>To change the name of a bookmark or folder select it then press <keycap
>F2</keycap
> or choose the <guimenuitem
>Rename</guimenuitem
> item from the <guimenu
>Edit</guimenu
> menu or the pop up menu that appears when you <mousebutton
>right</mousebutton
> click on the item. Similarly, you can edit the &URL; by pressing <keycap
>F3</keycap
> or choosing the <guimenuitem
> Change URL</guimenuitem
> menu item.</para>
<para
>The <guilabel
>Bookmark Editor</guilabel
> lets you import bookmarks from a range of other browsers into &konqueror;'s bookmark list, putting them into a new folder or replacing all current bookmarks. To do this select <guisubmenu
>Import</guisubmenu
> from the <guimenu
>File</guimenu
> menu. The <menuchoice
><guimenu
>File</guimenu
><guisubmenu
>Export</guisubmenu
> </menuchoice
> option can be used to export &konqueror;'s bookmarks to a &Netscape; or Mozilla browser.</para>
<para
>If you often use the &Netscape; browser as well as &konqueror;, then rather than importing your &Netscape; bookmarks into &konqueror; it is better to select the <guimenuitem
>Show Netscape Bookmarks in Konqueror Windows</guimenuitem
> item in the <guimenu
>Settings</guimenu
> menu. If you do this any updates to &Netscape;'s bookmarks are automatically seen by &konqueror;.</para>
<para
>To select which bookmark subfolder is used to hold the Bookmark Toolbar items select the subfolder then choose <guimenuitem
>Set as Toolbar Folder</guimenuitem
> from the <guimenu
>Edit</guimenu
> menu.</para>
<para
>If you are tidying up your bookmarks and have forgotten what a particular web page is, you can easily open it from within the <guilabel
> Bookmark Editor</guilabel
> by <mousebutton
>right</mousebutton
> clicking on the item and selecting <guimenuitem
>Open in Konqueror</guimenuitem
> from the pop up menu. If you just want to check that the &URL; is still valid select <guimenuitem
>Check Status</guimenuitem
> instead.</para>
<important
><para
>Don't forget to save your changes with <menuchoice
> <guimenu
>File</guimenu
><guimenuitem
>Save</guimenuitem
></menuchoice
> or <keycombo action="simul"
>&Ctrl;<keycap
>S</keycap
></keycombo
> before you leave the <guilabel
>Bookmark Editor</guilabel
>. </para
