A.6. Browsing
the Web with Konqueror
Konqueror is not only a file browser, but is also a
full-featured web browser as well. To launch Konqueror choose
=> => .
To begin your Web session, enter a URL in the Location field. For example, enter https://www.redhat.com/ into the field. If
your internet connection is working properly, Konqueror displays a web page similar to the one
pictured in Figure
A-11.
Press [Enter] to connect to the
webpage. You can navigate the webpage using your mouse and
keyboard. To scroll up and down a webpage, click the the scroll bar
on the right side of the browser window as you drag the mouse up
and down. You can also press the arrow keys on your keyboard to
move up and down the webpage.
To load any new content on the webpage, click the Refresh button on the toolbar or press [F5] . This reloads the page along with any new
content.
To stop a page from loading, click the Stop button on the toolbar or press [Esc] .
To move back to a previously loaded webpage or move forward to a
recently loaded page, click the Back and
Forward buttons or press [Alt] and the left or right arrow key to move
backward or forward one webpage, respectively.
Konqueror also allows you to load
multiple pages within one browser window, alleviating the need to
have multiple browser windows open at the same time. Konqueror uses tabs to accomplish loading
multiple pages in one window. To open a link in a new tab,
right-click the link and choose (or if
you want to keep your current tab on top). The tabs appear with the
header of the webpage displayed for easy reference. Click the tab
of the webpage you want to display. To close a tab, right-click on
it and choose from the
menu.
For additional information on using Konqueror, go to (on
the top menu panel) => .
