<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>

<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>.
