Don't trash the guy, it occurs sometimes that some network problems may make those multiple posts appear. I've deleted all but one.

As a user of KDE since before 1.0, I have to ask:
"This is news?"
Just kidding. In 1.0 and before, manpages and info (IIRC) were available through the Help browser. This is cool too. |

Indeed.. I've seen it since at least 2.0. Probably was around in kfm (before konqi existed) back in kde 1.2 too.

when I used kde a while back, #<manpage> is quicker than man:<manpage>

Konqueror is amazing!
Try this:
!!!
You can just copy / paste to have an audio CD converted to mp3s or oggs. |

Yea, that's a nice little feature.
You can just press Alt-F2 while somewhere in KDE and type #<manpage>.

I doubt that it was Mandrake specific, but I used to be able in mandrake type alt-F2 #command.
It would bring up info:/command if it existed, otherwise it would fallback to man:/command
Has this changed, or is it such an unknown feature that nobody knows.

Knew about this for a long time and it always worked without troubles... until recently.
Nowadays if I type something like man:ls in Konqueror, I always get a response like this...
| Quote: | There is more than one matching man page.
/usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz
/usr/man/man1/ls.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1p/ls.1p.gz
/usr/man/man1p/ls.1p.gz |
The first two links lead to the same page (caused by the symlink /usr/man to /usr/share/man I think) and the last two lead to a similar (but not quite the same) page.
man on the command line doesn't do this, so why is this suddenly happening? And what the heck is ls.1p.gz? |

Someone who ignores the "press button once" messages I think LOL |
why do people never delete their posts when that happens?!!?
