<chapter id="introduction"><title>Introduction</title>
<para>Based initially on <emphasis>qtwebkit</emphasis> (and currently on <emphasis>kdewebkit</emphasis>), &rekonq; is a lightweight browser designed to use the <guilabel>WebKit</guilabel> rendering engine in combination with various &kde; technologies, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into the &kde; desktop. The name is a throwback to the venerable khtml-based <ulink url="help:/konqueror/index.html">&konqueror;</ulink> which is currently the default &kde; web browser.
</para>
<para>&rekonq; has already replaced &konqueror; as the default browser in Chakra and Kubuntu, with more distributions expressing similar intent for their future releases.
</para>
<important><para>Like all &kde; applications, &rekonq; is highly
        configurable. This document describes how &rekonq; behaves with the normal,
        default settings.
        </para>
        <para> A three button mouse can be useful when you are running
        &rekonq; 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 middle mouse button by pressing both buttons at the same time.
        </para>
        <para>If you are used to having to double-click to perform an action,
        then take care, because in common with the rest of &kde;, &rekonq; defaults
        to single-clicking.
        </para>

      <para>&rekonq; main toolbar</para>
    </caption>
  </mediaobject>
</screenshot>
</para>
<para>By default, the &rekonq; window uses only one toolbar. This main toolbar consists of four navigation buttons (<guilabel>back</guilabel>, <guilabel>forward</guilabel>, <guilabel>reload/stop</guilabel>), the URL bar and a menu/button <guilabel>Tools</guilabel>. This minimalist approach to the main toolbar marks the most significant user-interface departure from the traditional multi-toolbar paradigm followed by most other browsers like &konqueror;.
</para>
<para>Further, the main toolbar offers only limited customization &ndash; <guilabel>orientation</guilabel> (locked at the top of the window, by default), <guilabel>icon size</guilabel> (medium, by default) and <guilabel>icon labels</guilabel> (not shown, by default). This helps keep the &rekonq; UI simple and puts the focus on the web page on display.

<para>&rekonq; introduces a vastly improved URL bar that offers access to search engines from the drop down completion list itself. The completion list is also populated by matching items from your history and bookmarks.

</para>
<para>When started, &rekonq; displays the New Tab page, much of which is taken by a set of preview thumbnails of favorite webpages. These thumbnails offer a speedy way for the user to access their most frequently used webpages. There is also a pane at the top of this page allows the user to switch to previews of recently closed tabs and lists of bookmarked webpages, download and browsing histories.

<para>Further configuration options activate several other UI elements hidden by default. These include a toolbar for bookmarks, a panel (a panel, being a mini-window that can be resized, detached or re-docked in the main window) each for bookmarks and history and a web inspector panel (handy for web development).

<chapter id="features"><title>Features</title>
<para>Under its minimalist appearance, &rekonq; packs a full set of powerful features. Some of them are described below:
</para>
<sect1 id="kde-integration"><title>&kde; integration</title>
<para>&rekonq; is designed with the aim of being a &kde; browser. And it shows this.
</para>
<sect2 id="appearance"><title>Appearance</title>
<para>It obeys your themes, fonts, window decoration, menu highlighting, and many personalization options you set for your desktop.

</para>
<para>&rekonq; plays well with other applications in the &kde; family. &rekonq; will always use your chosen default applications to handle file types. PDF files, for example will open in an embedded <ulink url="help:/okular/index.html">&okular;</ulink> <guilabel>kpart</guilabel> within &rekonq; itself. Media files will open in <ulink url="help:/dragonplayer/index.html">&dragon;</ulink> (or any other designated default application for that filetype).

<para>Bookmarks, web shortcuts (more on these later), cookies and authentication information are shared with &konqueror;. You will see the same set of bookmarks from either application and you can log onto a website in &konqueror; and carry on seamlessly if you decide to switch to &rekonq;. Your passwords are stored securely in <ulink url="help:/kwallet/index.html">KWallet</ulink> and can be used from either &konqueror; or &rekonq;.

<para>&rekonq; uses the open source <guilabel>WebKit</guilabel> rendering engine which incidentally began life as a branch of the khtml/kjs libraries from the &kde; project. <guilabel>WebKit</guilabel> is fast, powerful and used by many other popular browsers today including <trademark class="registered">Google</trademark>'s <trademark class="registered">Chrome</trademark>, <trademark class="registered">Apple</trademark>'s <trademark class="registered">Safari</trademark> and others.

</para>
<para>One of the benefits of using the <guilabel>WebKit</guilabel> engine, is that plugins can be disabled from automatically loading. This comes in handy to surf websites fast, without being bogged down by <guilabel>flash</guilabel> plugins. In the so-called <emphasis>Click-to-load</emphasis> mode, you will instead see a button that you can click on to activate the plugin.

<para>&rekonq; comes with an automatic subscription to the Easylist filter, which is updated every week.

You can even download and import additional published filterlists or export your list for backup.
</para>
</chapter>
<chapter id="web-shortcuts-support"><title>Web shortcuts support</title>
<para>&rekonq; allows you to pick from an extensive list of web shortcuts &ndash; these are keywords that allow you to search the web quickly. For instance, entering <userinput>gg:&kde;</userinput> in the location bar will search <emphasis>Google</emphasis> for <quote>&kde;</quote>, while <userinput>wp:&kde;</userinput> will search <emphasis>Wikipedia</emphasis> for <quote>&kde;</quote>. There are dozens of these defined by default. You can edit these or even define custom shortcuts to search on your favorite websites.

<chapter id="session-restore-feature"><title>Session restore feature</title>
<para>If &rekonq; crashes, it will automatically attempt to restore your session, complete with all the tabs the next time you start it. If for some reason, the browser continues to crash upon restoring the session, &rekonq; will automatically start with a fresh session the second time.

<chapter id="full-screen-mode"><title>Full screen mode</title>
<para>&rekonq; supports full-screening the webpage straight from the configuration menu button or through a keyboard shortcut (<keycombo>&Ctrl;&Shift;<keycap>F</keycap></keycombo>, by default). In the full screen view, the main toolbar will auto-hide and the web page will be displayed over your entire screen.

<para>Using <ulink url="help:/kwin/index.html">KWin</ulink>'s window tabbing feature, we can make &rekonq; emulate the behavior of <guilabel>chromium</guilabel> by opening new windows instead of tabs within the same window. This will not however allow each window of &rekonq; to crash independently &ndash; all windows of &rekonq; crash as a single process. It merely emulates the look of <application>Chromium</application>, giving individual controls for each web page you load.
</para>
<para>Click on the <guilabel>Tools</guilabel> menu button and open the <guilabel>Configure rekonq</guilabel> dialog. Click on <guilabel>Tabs</guilabel>. Unselect all options to disable all tab handling in &rekonq;. Now, &rekonq; will always open new windows instead of tabs.
</para>
<para>Now, we'll set up <guilabel>KWin</guilabel> to automatically tab all &rekonq; windows together. Head to <menuchoice><guimenu>System Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Window Behavior</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. Select <guilabel>Window Behavior</guilabel> on the left and go to the <guilabel>Advanced</guilabel> tab. Here, under <guilabel>Window Tabbing</guilabel>, check <guilabel>Automatically group similar windows</guilabel>. Click <guilabel>Apply</guilabel>.
</para>
<para>Now, &rekonq; will open windows by default which will automatically get tabbed together.
