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.

Konqueror, go to
