Editing Konqueror (section)

==User interface==
Konqueror supports [[Tab (GUI)|tabbed document interface]] and Split views, wherein a window can contain multiple documents in tabs. [[Multiple document interface]]s are not supported, however it is possible to recursively divide a window to view multiple documents simultaneously, or simply open another window.

Konqueror's [[user interface]] is somewhat reminiscent of [[Microsoft]]'s [[Internet Explorer]], though it is more customizable. It works extensively with "panels", which can be rearranged or added. For example, one could have an [[Internet bookmarks]] panel on the left side of the browser [[window (computing)|window]], and by clicking a bookmark, the respective [[web page]] would be viewed in the larger panel to the right. Alternatively, one could display a hierarchical list of [[Directory (computing)|folders]] in one panel and the content of the selected folder in another. Panels are quite flexible and can even include, among other [[KParts]] ([[software component|component]]s), a console window, a text editor, and a media player. Panel configurations can be saved, and there are some default configurations. (For example, "[[Midnight Commander]]" displays a screen split into two panels, where each one contains a folder, Web site, or file view.)

Navigation functions (back, forward, history, etc.) are available during all operations. Most keyboard shortcuts can be remapped using a graphical configuration, and navigation can be conducted through an assignment of letters to nodes on the active file by pressing the control key. The address bar has extensive autocompletion support for local directories, past [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]]s, and past search terms.
