Working with Files
Because most of the ways of working with files in Konqueror are quite intuitive (by intention),
Table 3-3 provides a quick rundown of how to do basic file manipulation.
TABLE 3-3
Working with Files in Konqueror
Task Action
Open a file Left-click the file. It will open right in the Konqueror window, if
possible, or in the default application set for the file type. You also
can open directories, applications, and links by left-clicking them.
Open a file with a specific application Right-click a data file, choose Open With from the pop-up menu,
and then select one of the available applications to open the file. The
applications listed are those that are set up to open the file. Select
Other to choose a different application.
Delete a file Right-click the file and select Delete. You are asked if you really
want to delete the file. Click Yes to permanently delete it. (As an
alternative, you can select Move to Trash, which results in the file
being moved to the trash can you can access from the desktop.)
Copy a file Right-click the file and select Copy. This copies the file to your
clipboard. After that, you can paste it to another folder. Click the
Klipper (clipboard) icon in the panel to see a list of copied files.
Klipper holds the seven most recently copied files, by default.
