 |
|
Open Konqueror and enter "man:command" where command is the command you wish to know about.
Much easier than using "more".

Was just one of those "I wonder if...." moments. That's one thing that gets me about some Linux desktops and apps, they just don't have superb documention and at times you really feel like you're only scratching the surface. I just don't experiment enough

I agree...
Now we can actually use this in url's to point people to a particular section etc.
Check "info:/bash/Bash Variables" page etc, unfortunately, we can't put it in a url= construct here on phpBB though

It wouldnt.. "man" and "info" are kioslaves.. just like "http" is when you use konq as a browser
There are some other cool kioslaves aswell, my favourite is fish - e.g. you can use "fish://user@host.domain/" to browse the filesystem of any machine you have a shell account on
.. stay tuned for more kde goodies ..
edit:
for a complete list, see help:/kioslave/index.html (yes, help is a kioslave aswell :) |
