You may: - - - Simply select the relevant item in the &kmenu;. - - - Run the program from &konsole;, or by clicking the &kmenu; and choosing Run Command... (while you still might prefer the quick keyboard shortcut, which is simply &Alt;F2). - - - Create a shortcut on the desktop or use &kicker;'s quick launcher. - - - -The &kmenu; functions much like the Start menu of &Windows;, however -it breaks programs up by what they do. Programs on the &kmenu; are broken -into category menus, such as Multimedia and -Office. Under these category menus there are -subcategory menus, such as Sound, -Video and Graphics. Under -the subcategory menus lie program launchers, which, when clicked on, launch -the associated application. - -Depending on the program, there may not be a launcher in the &kmenu;. -To search your hard drive for more applications, click the &kmenu;, choose -Run Command and type -kappfinder. In -&kappfinder;, click Scan, and the hard drive will be -searched for programs. Click the checkbox next to each program to be added -to the &kmenu;, and click Apply and -Close. The &kmenu; now will have new program -launchers under the relevant category menus. - -Launchers to programs may also be placed on the desktop. To create a -new launcher, right click on the desktop, and -choose Create -NewLink to -Application. On the &kdesktop; properties dialog -box, type in the name of the program on the General -tab. You may also wish to choose a custom icon by clicking on the gear icon. -Click the Application tab and type a short sentence -about the program in the Description textbox. In the -Command textbox, type the name of the program (case -sensitive), and any command line options you wish to use. Choose -OK, and your new program launcher will be created on -your desktop.

Once &konsole; -appears on the screen, simply type the name of the program you wish to -launch (remembering that bash, the command language interpreter that &konsole; uses by default, is case-sensitive) and press -Enter. If you are unsure about the name of a program, type -the first few letters then press the key on your keyboard. By pressing - , bash (through &konsole;) will try to guess the name of the program you wish to -launch. If it finds more then one matching program, a list of - matching programs will be printed on the screen. Type the name of the - program from the list and press Enter to launch. - -Whichever way you choose, launching a program is a simple affair with -&tde;.

The -top area is where you find the navigation and configuration functions. The -main area (in the middle) is where all your files are being displayed as -icons. This is called an icon view. The bottom area is where you can edit -filename or filter expressions and say Save or -Open. - -In addition to that you can add two even more sophisticated areas: -the Quick Access Navigation Panel and -the Preview Panel. - - - - - -Next to the three navigation buttons (one directory -up, back and -forward) and the new folder button -there is the bookmarks menu. Here you can mark any folder -you visit often to find it quickly. The wrench icon holds -the different functions to sort your files by name, date or size and to -enable the two extra panels mentioned above. Next to it you can type the -directory and choose (on the very right side) the encoding. - - - - - -You'll find the icon view in the middle of the dialog. You will find -most of the navigation functions in the context menu by clicking on the -items or the background with the right mouse -button. - - - - - - -The bottom of the dialog consists of the address field holding the -file name you chose or typed in and the maybe most powerful tool: The -filter. Here you can make the icon view display only items that match the -criteria you define. Try filtering files whose names contain -air by typing *air* into the filter -field. - - - - - - - -The Quick Access Panel (activate it by typing the -F9 key on your keyboard or through the wrench icon on top -of the dialog) provides configurable shortcuts to frequently used -locations on your hard drive or even on the Internet. There are several -preconfigured locations such as your home directory. Try right clicking on -any item to configure it or to empty space to add a new entry. You will be -shown a context menu. Here you can choose the icon size and to add, modify -or rename any entry. Choose Add Entry and you -will see a window containing anything you need: Type your description, enter -the location (or choose it via the dialog opening by clicking on the -folder symbol), choose a symbol from a vast variety in the symbol dialog -opening when you click on the predefined icon (usually a simple folder -symbol). - - - - - - -The Preview area (activate it by typing the F11 -key on your keyboard or via the wrench icon on top of the dialog) -makes it easy to preview almost any file on your filesystem. Images -will be displayed as thumbnails. Usually also sound files (such as -MP3, Ogg or Wave-Files), text files (among them raw text, PDF and -&HTML;) and even video files (MPG, AVI and so on) will be -previewed. - -Note that large files might take a long time to be previewed -(⪚ scaled down if they are large images). You can disable automatic -previews by unselecting Automatic Preview below the -preview. You can still preview individual files: just click Preview. You can also disable previews for files above a certain -size. Go to &kcontrolcenter;, choose TDE -componentsFile manager, go to -the Preview and Metafiles tab and change the -Maximum Filesize value. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Configuring Programs - - -Application Configuration - -Configuration -Customization - -&tde; applications are intended to be as useful and usable as -possible out of the box, but they also offer a wide -range of options which you can change to make &tde; work for you. As -well as the settings which affect the whole of &tde; (see ), each application has a set of -configuration options, which you can access using the menu option -SettingsConfigure -Application -. This is the same for all &tde; applications, which -makes it easy to find the configuration dialog for an -application. - - - -On the left of the configuration dialog is a list of -sections. Clicking on one of these sections displays the configuration -page for that section on the right-hand side of the dialog. You can -change these options to fit your preferences. - -When you have made the changes you want, you can click on -OK to save your changes and close the -configuration dialog. If you want to see the effect of your changes, -but not close the configuration dialog, click on the -Apply button. This is useful if you aren't sure -about the change you've made, and might want to change back, because -the dialog is still open, ready for you to do so. - -If you decide that you don't want to keep the changes you've -made, just click Cancel to close the dialog -without saving your changes. - - - - -Configuring Keyboard Shortcuts - -Shortcuts -Keybindings - -Most &tde; applications offer keyboard shortcuts for the main -actions in the application. If you find that you don't like the -default keyboard shortcuts, or that they conflict with the shortcuts -of another application (maybe one that's not part of &tde;), you can -change them with the -SettingsConfigure -Shortcuts... - menu entry. This brings up the -Configure Shortcuts dialog for the -application. As an example of how to use this dialog, let's add a -shortcut for the Send Link Address... action to -&konqueror;, so that we can email the locations of interesting pages -to friends just by hitting a key (or two): - -Open the Configure Shortcuts -dialog in &konqueror;, as described above. - -Click on the Send Link Address... item -in the main listbox (it's near the bottom, in the -Konqueror section). - -In the Shortcut for Selected -Action panel, select Custom, since we -are going to give this action a keyboard shortcut that we have chosen. - -A small shortcut entry dialog pops up. Just hit -&Ctrl;E - (or whatever you want to change the shortcut to), and the -dialog disappears. The key icon in the -Configure Shortcuts dialog now shows the new -shortcut. - -If you made a mistake, or change your mind about what -to use as the shortcut, just click on the key icon showing the current -shortcut. The shortcut entry dialog reappears, and you can press the -key combination for the shortcut you want. - - - - - - - - -Configuring Notifications - -Notifications -Sounds - -Something about -SettingsConfigure Notifications... -. - - - - - - -Adriaan -de Groot - - -Configuring Toolbars - -Nearly every &tde; application has one or more toolbars at the top of -the application window, underneath the menu. The toolbar contains icons -(toolbar buttons) that represent commonly used actions and configuration -settings. The &kmail; window, for instance, has a toolbar that contains -buttons for New Message, Check Mail -and several others. Each of these actions is something you do often, so -that's why they have toolbar buttons as well as menu entries (New -Message is under -MessageNew -Message, Check Mail is -FileCheck -Mail). - -Not everybody agrees on what actions are commonly used, though, (I -never use the New Message toolbar button or the menu -item, I use the keyboard shortcut &Ctrl;N). To ensure that your -screen isn't cluttered with things you don't need, each toolbar can be -customized. Additionally, you can usually customize which toolbars are -displayed and how, as well. - - -Customizing Toolbar Displays - -The easiest thing to customize with the toolbars of any given -application is whether they are displayed at all. Most applications have a -SettingsToolbars - menu where you can select which toolbars are displayed and -which are not. &konqueror; has four toolbars, Main, -Extra, Location and -Bookmark. It can be convenient to turn off the -Bookmark toolbar to save -screen space. To do so, click on the Settings menu, -choose Toolbars, and then uncheck the -Bookmark Toolbar entry (do this just by clicking -on the menu item). - -If there is no Settings menu, you can also -right click on the toolbar itself, and choose the -Toolbars sub-menu from the resulting context -menu. - -The same Toolbar context menu, accessed by -right clicking on the toolbar, allows you to -customize other properties of the toolbar: - - - -Its orientation, so that instead of appearing at the top of the -window under the menu bar you can place it on the left, right or bottom of -the window. - - -Its orientation, so that the toolbar floats as a -separate window which you can move independently. - - -Its orientation, so that the toolbar is squashed into a little flat -grip that you can re-open by double-clicking on it (this is subtly -different from making the toolbar vanish completely, since it it easier to -cause it to re-appear). - - -The appearance of text alongside, underneath, or instead of the icons -on the toolbar. - - -The size of the icons (if they are not supplanted by -text). - - - - - -Customizing the Icons on the Toolbar - -The toolbar is intended for actions that you perform often, so what do -you do if there is some useless icon there, like Cut? Or -what if you really want a cut button on the toolbar, but -the application doesn't give you one? This is where the customize toolbars -dialog comes in — it give you complete control over the actions that -are available on each toolbar. - -Choose SettingsConfigure -Toolbars from the application's menu, or -Configure Toolbars from the context menu of the -toolbar itself. This displays the configure toolbars dialog, which consists -of a combobox with which you can select -which toolbar to customize, and two lists of items -— one of the available actions, and one of the actions that are -already in use on the toolbar. - -Often there are many many more actions available ( activate -tab #12, for instance) than you would ever want on the toolbar, or -even that you know exist in the application. The customize toolbar dialog -can be a learning experience. You can drag actions from one list box to the -other, rearrange the items on the toolbar , or change the icon for a -selected action. This allows you to drag the actions you don't want off of -the toolbar and into the list of available actions; similarly, the actions -you do want can be dragged into the toolbar. Clicking -OK in the dialog immediately updates the toolbar with -your new preferred actions. - -There are a few special items that can end up in the listbox for the -current toolbar: - - - -separators, which exist in two flavors: - -line separator appears as a line -between two action icons - -separator appears as a larger -space between two action icons - - - - - -<Merge>, which is a special item that -allows plugins and other loadable components of the application to insert -their actions into the toolbar as well. It is generally not a good idea to -remove this, since you cannot get it back. - - -ActionList:, these appear in various flavors -(there is a viewmode_toolbar one in &konqueror;) and again these -represent lists of actions that might be inserted by -plugins. - - - -Whenever you click on an action in the list of current actions, a -description of it is shown in the dialog. This description will warn you if -it is a bad idea to remove the action. - -If you do not like to drag things around, there are four buttons in -the middle of the dialog which allow you to move the selected action from -one list to the other, and to move a selected current action up or down in -the list. There must be a way to restore the default toolbars in an -application, in order to recover from accidentally deleting an important -action like <Merge>, but I don't know what it -is. - - - - - - - - - - - -- cgit v1.2.1
