<title>Launching Programs</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>&kde; offers a varying number of ways to launch programs. You may:</para>
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Simply select the relevant item in the &kmenu;.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Run the program from &konsole;, or by clicking the &kmenu; and choosing <guimenuitem>Run Command...</guimenuitem> (while you still might prefer the quick keyboard shortcut, which is simply <keycombo action="simul">&Alt;<keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo>).</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Create a shortcut on the desktop or use &kicker;'s quick launcher.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>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 <guisubmenu>Multimedia</guisubmenu> and
|
|
<guisubmenu>Office</guisubmenu>. Under these category menus there are
|
|
subcategory menus, such as <guisubmenu>Sound</guisubmenu>,
|
|
<guisubmenu>Video</guisubmenu> and <guisubmenu>Graphics</guisubmenu>. Under
|
|
the subcategory menus lie program launchers, which, when clicked on, launch
|
|
the associated application.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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
|
|
<guimenuitem>Run Command</guimenuitem> and type
|
|
<userinput><command>kappfinder</command></userinput>. In
|
|
&kappfinder;, click <guibutton>Scan</guibutton>, and the hard drive will be
|
|
searched for programs. Click the checkbox next to each program to be added
|
|
to the &kmenu;, and click <guibutton>Apply</guibutton> and
|
|
<guibutton>Close</guibutton>. The &kmenu; now will have new program
|
|
launchers under the relevant category menus.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Launchers to programs may also be placed on the desktop. To create a
|
|
new launcher, <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the desktop, and
|
|
choose <menuchoice><guimenu>Create
|
|
New</guimenu><guimenuitem>Link to
|
|
Application</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. On the &kdesktop; properties dialog
|
|
box, type in the name of the program on the <guilabel>General</guilabel>
|
|
tab. You may also wish to choose a custom icon by clicking on the gear icon.
|
|
Click the <guilabel>Application</guilabel> tab and type a short sentence
|
|
about the program in the <guilabel>Description</guilabel> textbox. In the
|
|
<guilabel>Command</guilabel> textbox, type the name of the program (case
|
|
sensitive), and any command line options you wish to use. Choose
|
|
<guibutton>OK</guibutton>, and your new program launcher will be created on
|
|
your desktop. Simply click on the new launcher on the desktop and the
|
|
associated program will run.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To launch a program using &konsole;, click the &kmenu; and choose
|
|
<menuchoice><guisubmenu>System</guisubmenu><guisubmenu>Terminals
|
|
</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Konsole</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. Once &konsole;
|
|
appears on the screen, simply type the name of the program you wish to
|
|
launch (remembering that <application>bash</application>, the command language interpreter that &konsole; uses by default, is case-sensitive) and press
|
|
<keycap>Enter</keycap>. If you are unsure about the name of a program, type
|
|
the first few letters then press the 	 key on your keyboard. By pressing
|
|
	, <application>bash</application> (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 <keycap>Enter</keycap> to launch.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Whichever way you choose, launching a program is a simple affair with
|
|
&kde;. From the &kmenu;, to &konsole;, all your programs are just a few
|
|
clicks or key-presses away.</para>

<para>&kde; provides a unified way to open or save files via the file

<para>This dialog consists of between three and five areas. 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 <guibutton>Save</guibutton> or

<guibutton>Open</guibutton>.</para>

any item to configure it or to empty space to add a new entry. You will be

<title>Configuring Toolbars</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Nearly every &kde; 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 <guiicon>New Message</guiicon>, <guiicon>Check Mail</guiicon>
|
|
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 (<guiicon>New
|
|
Message</guiicon> is under
|
|
<menuchoice><guimenu>Message</guimenu><guimenuitem>New
|
|
Message</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, <guiicon>Check Mail</guiicon> is
|
|
<menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>Check
|
|
Mail</guimenuitem></menuchoice>).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Not everybody agrees on what actions are commonly used, though, (I
|
|
never use the <guiicon>New Message</guiicon> toolbar button or the menu
|
|
item, I use the keyboard shortcut <keycombo
|
|
action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>N</keycap></keycombo>). 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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<sect3 id="customizing-toolbar-displays">
|
|
<title>Customizing Toolbar Displays</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The easiest thing to customize with the toolbars of any given
|
|
application is whether they are displayed at all. Most applications have a
|
|
<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guisubmenu>Toolbars</guisubmenu>
|
|
</menuchoice> menu where you can select which toolbars are displayed and
|
|
which are not. &konqueror; has four toolbars, <interface>Main</interface>,
|
|
<interface>Extra</interface>, <interface>Location</interface> and
|
|
<interface>Bookmark</interface>. It can be convenient to turn off the
|
|
<interface>Bookmark</interface> toolbar to save
|
|
screen space. To do so, click on the <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu,
|
|
choose <guisubmenu>Toolbars</guisubmenu>, and then uncheck the
|
|
<guimenuitem>Bookmark Toolbar</guimenuitem> entry (do this just by clicking
|
|
on the menu item).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If there is no <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu, you can also
|
|
<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on the toolbar itself, and choose the
|
|
<guisubmenu>Toolbars</guisubmenu> sub-menu from the resulting context
|
|
menu.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The same <guimenu>Toolbar</guimenu> context menu, accessed by
|
|
<mousebutton>right</mousebutton> clicking on the toolbar, allows you to
|
|
customize other properties of the toolbar:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>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.</para>

<title>Customizing the Icons on the Toolbar</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The toolbar is intended for actions that you perform often, so what do
|
|
you do if there is some useless icon there, like <guiicon>Cut</guiicon>? Or
|
|
what if you really want a <guiicon>cut</guiicon> 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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Choose <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure
|
|
Toolbars</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from the application's menu, or
|
|
<guimenuitem>Configure Toolbars</guimenuitem> from the context menu of the
|
|
toolbar itself. This displays the configure toolbars dialog, which consists
|
|
of a combobox <!-- drop-down box? --> with which you can select
|
|
<emphasis>which</emphasis> 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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Often there are many many more actions available ( <guiicon>activate
|
|
tab #12</guiicon>, 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 <!-- in the list box on the right
|
|
..... not sure if I should be LTR-centric -->, 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
|
|
<guibutton>OK</guibutton> in the dialog immediately updates the toolbar with
|
|
your new preferred actions.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>There are a few special items that can end up in the listbox for the
|
|
current toolbar:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>separators, which exist in two flavors:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para><guilabel>line separator</guilabel> appears as a line
|
|
between two action icons</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para><guilabel>separator</guilabel> appears as a larger
|
|
space between two action icons</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><guilabel><Merge></guilabel>, 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.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><guilabel>ActionList:</guilabel>, 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.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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 <guilabel><Merge></guilabel>, but I don't know what it
|
|
is.</para>
