<title>Scrolling</title>
19
<para>You're probably familiar with the scrollbar that appears on the right side
20
(and sometimes the bottom) of documents, allowing you to move within documents.
21
However, there are several other ways you can navigate documents, some of which
22
are faster and easier.</para>
24
<para>Several mice have a wheel in the middle. You can move it up and down to
25
scroll within a document. If you press the &Shift; key while using the mouse
26
wheel, the document will scroll faster.</para>
28
<para>If you're using a portable computer like a laptop, you might also be able
29
to scroll using the touchpad. Some computers allow you to scroll vertically
30
by moving your finger up and down the rightmost side of the touchpad, and allow
31
you to scroll horizontally by moving your finger across the bottommost side
32
of the touchpad. Others let you scroll using two fingers: move both fingers
33
up and down anywhere on the touchpad to scroll vertically, and move them left
34
and right to scroll horizontally. Since this functionality emulates the mouse
35
wheel functionality described above, you can also press the &Shift; key while
36
you do this to scroll faster.</para>
38
<para>If you use the &plasma-workspaces;, you can control mouse wheel behavior
39
in the <ulink url="help:/kcontrol/mouse/">Mouse module in &systemsettings;</ulink>,
40
and you can control touchpad scrolling behavior in the Touchpad module in
41
&systemsettings;. Otherwise, look in the configuration area of your operating
42
system or desktop environment.</para>
44
<para>Additionally, the scrollbar has several options in its context menu. You
45
can access these by right-clicking anywhere on the scrollbar. The following
46
options are available:</para>

<title>Zooming</title>
113
<para>Many applications permit you to zoom. This makes the text or image you
114
are viewing larger or smaller. You can generally find the zoom function in the
115
<link linkend="menus-view">View menu</link>, and sometimes in the status bar
116
of the application.</para>
118
<para>You can also zoom using the keyboard by pressing
119
<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>+</keycap></keycombo> to zoom in, or
120
<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>-</keycap></keycombo> to zoom out. If you
121
can scroll with the mouse wheel or touchpad as described in
122
<xref linkend="nav-scroll"/>, you can also zoom by pressing &Ctrl; and scrolling

<para>Many &kappname; applications work with files. Most applications have a

144
For more information on that, see <xref linkend="menus-file"/>. However,

there are lots of different operations that require selecting a file. Regardless
146
of the method, all &kappname; applications generally use the same file selection
