<title>Configuring &konqueror;</title>

<para>In common with the rest of &tde;, &konqueror; is highly configurable, so
you can really get the look and feel that best fits your needs and
wishes.</para>

<sect1 id="configure-bars">
<title>Toolbars</title>

<para>When &tde; is newly installed, &konqueror;'s window contains a Menubar, 
Main and Location Toolbars and possibly a Bookmark Toolbar.</para>

<para>Maybe you don't need all these toolbars. To hide one of them, go into 
the <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guisubmenu>Toolbars</guisubmenu>
</menuchoice> menu and uncheck its box. To show a hidden toolbar, just check 
the box.</para> 

<para>The Menubar itself can be toggled on and off with the shortcut key 
combination <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>M</keycap></keycombo>.
</para>

<!-- FIXME -->
<para>On the left hand end of each bar you can see some vertical 
lines. By &LMB; clicking on them, you <quote>flatten</quote> the bar, meaning 
that it is hidden but can be quickly restored by clicking on the now 
horizontal lines. You can also drag a bar into a new position with these 
lines.</para>

<para>If you <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on a Toolbar, you 
will get a menu to configure this bar. You can choose the orientation, text 
position and icon size</para>

<para>The icons shown in the various bars can be changed by using the 
<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Configure 
Toolbars...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> option, which brings up the 
<guilabel>Configure Toolbars</guilabel> dialog box. The Main and Extra Toolbars
are divided into sections, such as Main Toolbar &lt;&konqueror;&gt;, Main
Toolbar &lt;tdehtmlpart&gt; and Extra Toolbar &lt;tdehtmlsettingsplugin&gt;. The
number and type of these sections will depend on whether &konqueror; is in Web
Browser or File Manager mode and whether you have &konqueror; plugins
installed.</para>

</sect1>

<sect1 id="configshort">
<title>Shortcuts</title>
<para>To change the shortcut key arrangements used by &konqueror; select 
<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure Shortcuts...
</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. This will launch a dialog box as shown below.
</para>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="shortcut1.png" format="PNG"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>Shortcut config screenshot 1</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
<para>Search through the combo box to find the action you want to add or 
change the shortcut keys for and select it by <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> 
clicking on the name. You will then be able to change the shortcut by 
selecting the <guilabel>None</guilabel>, <guilabel>Default</guilabel> or 
<guilabel>Custom</guilabel> radio button or by clicking on the large button in 
the <guilabel>Shortcut for Selected Action</guilabel> area.</para>

<para>If you select <guilabel>Define Shortcut</guilabel>, and then
select <guilabel>Advanced</guilabel>, the dialog box below will be shown:
</para>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="shortcut2.png" format="PNG"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>Shortcut config screenshot 2</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
<para>Choose whether you want to change the <guilabel>Primary</guilabel> or 
<guilabel>Alternate</guilabel> shortcut then press the key combination you 
want to act as the shortcut, for example <keycombo action="simul">
&Ctrl;&Shift;<keycap>S</keycap></keycombo>. 
If the <guilabel>Auto-Close</guilabel> box is checked the dialog will vanish 
as soon as you enter the key combination, otherwise it will remain until you 
press <guibutton>OK</guibutton> or <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton>. Clicking on 
the little black icon with a white cross in it clears the shortcut.</para>

<sect2 id="userdefmenus">
<title>User Defined Menus</title>
<para>You can add your own pop up menu to &konqueror; so that pressing one key 
combination will make the menu appear then pressing a second key, or using the 
<keysym>Up arrow</keysym> and <keysym>Down arrow</keysym> keys and pressing 
<keycap>Enter</keycap>, will select an item from it.</para>
<para>To do this add a <guilabel>Custom</guilabel> shortcut for each of the 
actions you want to appear in the menu and in the <guilabel>Define Shortcut
</guilabel> dialog check the <guilabel>Multi-Key</guilabel> box, press the 
key combination that you want to bring up your new menu then, separately, 
press the key that will choose that item from the menu.</para>
</sect2>
</sect1>

<sect1 id="othersettings">
<title>Other Settings</title>
<para>Selecting <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>
Configure Konqueror...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> brings up a dialog box 
which you can use to control most aspects of &konqueror;'s behavior. 
It contains several sections which are selected by <mousebutton>left
</mousebutton> clicking on one of the icons at the left of the dialog 
box.</para>
<para>Pressing the <guibutton>Help</guibutton> button will give you 
detailed instructions about how to use each of these sections, or you can 
use the <link linkend="bubble">What's This?</link> feature.</para>
