20 <para>Internet shortcuts are a really useful feature of &konqueror;:
21 once you get used to them, you'll wonder how you ever lived without them.</para>
23 <para>To see what internet shortcuts are, open up &konqueror; and type
24 <userinput>gg:kde</userinput> in the <guilabel>Location</guilabel>
27 <para>You will go to Google, searching for &kde;.</para>
29 <para>They are many such shortcuts like <userinput>ggl:</userinput> (Google
30 I'm feeling lucky), <userinput>bug:</userinput> (bugs.kde.org) and so
33 <para>To get a full list, click on <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> in the
34 &konqueror; menu, and select <guilabel>Web Shortcuts</guilabel>. Here you will find a full list of all the shortcuts. You can create
35 new ones, change existing ones, or delete unused shortcuts. You can also
36 disable web shortcuts if you don't like them. If you set the <guilabel>Default
37 search engine</guilabel>, you don't have to type the shortcut anymore. For
38 instance if you set it to Google, you can just type
39 <userinput>kde</userinput> in the <guilabel>Location</guilabel> bar,
40 and it will search Google for <quote>&kde;</quote>.</para>
42 <para>In <guilabel>Keyword delimiter</guilabel> you can choose if you want
43 to separate a shortcut with a colon (<userinput>gg: kde</userinput>) or a
44 space (<userinput>gg kde</userinput>).</para>
46 <para>A nice tip with Internet shortcuts is that you can use them from the
47 <guilabel>Run Command</guilabel> dialog. Just open it (through the &kmenu;
48 or with <keycombo action="simul">&Alt;<keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo>) and
49 type your shortcut, ⪚ <userinput>gg: kde</userinput>, and press
50 &Enter;. It will automatically open &konqueror; with a Google
51 search for &kde;.</para>
