Konqueror BasicsTable of Contents
Important
Like all KDE applications, Konqueror is highly configurable. This document describes how Konqueror behaves with the normal, default settings.
A three button mouse can be useful when you are running Konqueror or any other KDE application. If your mouse only has two buttons then you should be able to set your system up so that you can simulate a mouse button by pressing both buttons at the same time.
You can read more about mouse usage in the section called “ and Mouse Button Actions”
From the application launcher menu, select → to start it as a browser.

Click on the black arrow to the right of the Home Page icon to switch to your Home Folder in the file manager mode and vice versa.
If Konqueror is the default file manager, it also starts automatically when you double click on a desktop icon that represents a folder, such as a hard disk drive or the Trash icon.
