konqueror web browser and txt files
How do I get Konqueror to act as a web browser when it encounters .txt files? I've managed to get it set so that .txt files at least open up in Konqueror itself instead of launching KWrite separately, but it's using the embedded text editor. What I would like to happen is for Konqueror to display .txt files in the same way it displays html files so that I can do things like use the space bar to page through the document as I do with html files. I've been experimenting with settings in file associations but haven't hit on the right combination yet. If it's relevant, I'm using the KDE 3.1 debs for Woody from Ralf. -- Caitrin [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am not familiar with the KWrite code, but I have a feeling that would be a simpler and more elegant solution (and more likely to be implemented) than writing a whole new kpart. (Plus this way you would get to have syntax highlighting and other nice kwrite features in your text viewer). -- Nathaniel W. Turner http://www.houseofnate.net/ Tel: +1 508 579 1948 (mobile)

I use it. It can't scroll down when you press space. That might be a nice thing to have so that's why we suggest a wishlist bug is filed against it. Personally I would hate to use KWrite for this since it is slow to start up, especially when you keep in mind that konqueror is already running and can display text files just fine. Also most users rarely look at source codes in the text viewer, so having syntax highlighting is pretty useless. Anders

I'll file a wishlist bug against it later today. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. -- Caitrin [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thought he was using an embedded kwrite (kate) part. I don't know what you mean by kpart, but konqueror already has an embedded text viewer. I use it. It can't scroll down when you press space. That might be a nice thing to have so that's why we suggest a wishlist bug is filed against it. Ah, well, when I right click on a text file in konq, I get these options under the Preview In menu: Embedded KDE Advanced Text Editor Component KWord Qt Designer Based Text Editor Perhaps your system is different (I'm running pretty recent debs). Personally I would hate to use KWrite for this since it is slow to start up, especially when you keep in mind that konqueror is already running and can display text files just fine. Also most users rarely look at source codes in the text viewer, so having syntax highlighting is pretty useless. Hmm... when I open a text file in konquerer using the Embedded KDE Advanced Text Editor Component (the same component used by kwrite), the file displays in less than 1 second. But maybe this is the same thing you are talking about. Anyway, sorry if I confused the issue. -- Nathaniel W. Turner http://www.houseofnate.net/ Tel: +1 508 579 1948 (mobile)
