&Pamela.Roberts;2003-11-063.2Configuring &konqueror;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.ToolbarsWhen &tde; is newly installed, &konqueror;'s window contains a Menubar,
Main and Location Toolbars and possibly a Bookmark Toolbar.Maybe you don't need all these toolbars. To hide one of them, go into
the SettingsToolbars menu and uncheck its box. To show a hidden toolbar, just check
the box.The Menubar itself can be toggled on and off with the shortcut key
combination &Ctrl;M.
On the left hand end of each bar you can see some vertical
lines. By &LMB; clicking on them, you flatten 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.If you right click on a Toolbar, you
will get a menu to configure this bar. You can choose the orientation, text
position and icon sizeThe icons shown in the various bars can be changed by using the
SettingsConfigure
Toolbars... option, which brings up the
Configure Toolbars dialog box. The Main and Extra Toolbars
are divided into sections, such as Main Toolbar <&konqueror;>, Main
Toolbar <tdehtmlpart> and Extra Toolbar <tdehtmlsettingsplugin>. 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.ShortcutsTo change the shortcut key arrangements used by &konqueror; select
SettingsConfigure Shortcuts...
. This will launch a dialog box as shown below.

Alternate shortcut then press the key combination you
want to act as the shortcut, for example

If the Auto-Close box is checked the dialog will vanish
as soon as you enter the key combination, otherwise it will remain until you
press OK or Cancel. Clicking on
the little black icon with a white cross in it clears the shortcut.User Defined MenusYou 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
Up arrow and Down arrow keys and pressing
Enter, will select an item from it.To do this add a Custom shortcut for each of the
actions you want to appear in the menu and in the Define Shortcut
dialog check the Multi-Key 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.Other SettingsSelecting Settings
Configure Konqueror... 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 left
clicking on one of the icons at the left of the dialog
box.Pressing the Help button will give you
detailed instructions about how to use each of these sections, or you can
use the What's This? feature.
