+
+<para>&konqueror; offers some features to enhance your browsing
+experience. One such feature is <emphasis>Web Shortcuts</emphasis>.</para>
+
+<para>You may already have noticed that &kde; is very Internet friendly.
+For example, you can click on the <guimenuitem>Run</guimenuitem> menu
+item or type the keyboard shortcut assigned to that command (<keycombo
+action="simul"><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo>,
+unless you have changed it) and type in a <acronym>URI</acronym>.
+<footnote><para>Uniform Resource Identifier. A standardized way of
+referring to a resource such as a file on your computer, a World Wide
+Web address, an email address,
+<abbrev>etc...</abbrev>.</para></footnote></para>
+
+<para>Web shortcuts, on the other hand, let you come up with new pseudo
+<acronym>URL</acronym> schemes, or shortcuts, that basically let you
+<emphasis>parameterize</emphasis> commonly used
+<acronym>URI</acronym>s. For example, if you like the Google search
+engine, you can configure KDE so that a pseudo <acronym>URL</acronym>
+scheme like <emphasis>gg</emphasis> will trigger a search on
+Google. This way, typing <userinput>gg:<replaceable>my
+query</replaceable></userinput> will search for <replaceable>my
+query</replaceable> on Google.</para>
+
+<note><para>One can see why we call these pseudo <acronym>URL</acronym>
+schemes. They are used like a <acronym>URL</acronym> scheme, but the
+input is not properly <acronym>URL</acronym> encoded, so one will type
+<userinput>google:kde apps</userinput> and not
+<userinput>google:kde+apps</userinput>.</para></note>
+
+<para>You can use web
+shortcuts wherever you would normally use
+<acronym>URI</acronym>s. Shortcuts for several search engines should
+already be configured on your system, but you can add new keywords, and
+change or delete existing ones in the enhanced browsing control
+module. </para>

+<sect2 id="ebrowse-use">
+
+<title>Use</title>
+
+<para>There is a single tab in this control module. The title of the tab
+is <guilabel>Keywords</guilabel>. This tab features two main boxes, one
+for Internet Keywords and one for web shortcuts.</para>
+
+<sect3 id="ebrowse-srch-use">
+
+<title>Web Shortcuts</title>
+
+<para>The descriptive names of defined web shortcuts are shown in a
+listbox. As with other lists in &kde;, you can click on a column
+heading to toggle the sort order between ascending and
+descending, and you can resize the columns.</para>
+
+<para>If you double-click on a specific entry in the list of defined
+search providers, the details for that entry are shown in a popup
+dialog.  In addition to the descriptive name for the item, you can
+also see the <acronym>URI</acronym> which is used, as well as the
+associated shortcuts which you can type anywhere in &kde; where
+<acronym>URI</acronym>s are expected. A given search provider can have
+multiple shortcuts, each separated by a comma.</para>
+
+<para> The text boxes are used not only for displaying information
+about an item in the list of web shortcuts, but also for modifying or
+adding new items.</para>
+
+<para>You can change the contents of either the <guilabel>Search
+URI</guilabel> or the <guilabel>URI Shortcuts</guilabel> text box.
+Click <guibutton>OK</guibutton> to save your changes or
+<guibutton>Cancel</guibutton> to exit the dialog with no
+changes.</para>
+
+<para>If you examine the contents of the <guilabel>Search
+URI</guilabel> text box, you will find that most, if not all of the
+entries have a <option>\{@}</option> in them. This sequence of two
+characters acts as a parameter, which is to say that they are replaced
+by whatever you happen to type after the colon character that is
+between a shortcut and its parameter. Let's consider some examples to
+clarify this idea.</para>
+
+<para>Suppose that the <acronym>URI</acronym> is
+<userinput>http://www.google.com/search?q=\{@}</userinput>, and
+<userinput>gg</userinput> is a shortcut to this
+<acronym>URI</acronym>. Then, typing
+<userinput>gg:<replaceable>alpha</replaceable></userinput> is
+equivalent to
+<userinput>http://www.google.com/search?q=<replaceable>alpha</replaceable></userinput>.
+You could type anything after the <userinput>:</userinput> character;
+whatever you have typed simply replaces the <option>\{@}</option>
+characters, after being converted to the appropriate character set for
+the search provider and then properly
+<acronym>URL</acronym>-encoded. Only the <option>\{@}</option> part of
+the search <acronym>URI</acronym> is touched, the rest of it is
+supposed to be properly <acronym>URL</acronym>-encoded already and is
+left as is.</para>
+
+<para>You can also have shortcuts without parameters. Suppose the
+<acronym>URI</acronym> was
+<emphasis>file:/home/me/mydocs/kofficefiles/kword</emphasis> and the
+shortcut was <emphasis>mykword</emphasis>. Then, typing
+<userinput>mykword:</userinput> is the same as typing the complete
+<acronym>URI</acronym>. Note that there is nothing after the colon
+when typing the shortcut, but the colon is still required in order for
+the shortcut to be recognized as such.</para>
+
+<para>By now, you will have understood that even though these shortcuts
+are called web shortcuts, they really are shortcuts to parameterized
+<acronym>URI</acronym>s, which can point not only to web sites like
+search engines but also to anything else that can be pointed to by a
+<acronym>URI</acronym>. Web shortcuts are a very powerful feature of
+navigation in &kde;.</para>
