<para>BookMan is &krusader;'s Bookmark tool for
7
bookmarking folders, local- and
8
<link linkend="remote-connections">remote URL's</link>, and later
9
returning to them in a click of a button. The Bookman menu is
10
divided into four sections:
13
<para>Your personal bookmarks</para>
16
<para>Popular &URL;'s</para>
19
<para>Permanent bookmarks</para>
22
<para>Manage bookmarks</para>

26
<para>You can bookmark inside a remote file system
27
(&FTP; or SAMBA) and later use the bookmark to
28
quickly connect to the remote machine, but you cannot bookmark
29
inside an archive.</para>

<title>Using Bookmarks</title>
55
<para>Usually, you click on the
56
<guibutton>Bookmark</guibutton> button when you are in the target
57
folder. For example, to bookmark
58
<filename class="directory">/usr/tmp</filename>, navigate
59
&krusader; there and click the
60
<guibutton>Bookmark</guibutton> button and select
61
<guimenuitem>Bookmark Current</guimenuitem>. When the
62
<guilabel>Bookmark Current</guilabel> dialog box appears, the
64
<filename class="directory">/usr/tmp</filename>.
65
<guilabel>Name</guilabel> is for the name you would like to give
66
to the bookmark (e.g.: temporary folder). Hotkeys are supported
68
<literal>&</literal> to the bookmark name
70
<literal>&sourceforge, &home,
71
down&loads</literal> &etc;, so you can
72
quickly call the bookmark name with
73
<keycombo action="simul">&Alt;
74
<keycap>foo</keycap></keycombo>. If you add the bookmark
75
without entering a name, the bookmarks name will be the same as
77
<guilabel>URL</guilabel>

<!-- Openjade does not like an acronym element for "URL" here -->
79
is where the bookmark points to.
80
<guilabel>Create in</guilabel> creates bookmark folders for
81
organizing your bookmarks.</para>
82
<para>To use your bookmarks, click the
83
<guibutton>Bookmark</guibutton> button and choose a bookmark.
84
You may also use the <link linkend="key_bindings">Key-Bindings</link> :
85
<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;&Shift;
86
<keycap>D</keycap></keycombo> to bookmark the current item,
87
<keycombo action="simul">&Alt;
88
<keycap>right/left arrow</keycap></keycombo> to
89
<keycap>open right/left panel bookmarks list</keycap> and
90
<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;
91
<keycap>D</keycap></keycombo> to open the bookmarks of the
92
active panel. A Middle Mouse Button click on bookmarks opens them

<link linkend="folder-tabs">Folder tab</link>.</para>

<para>Navigation in bookmarks:

<para>Start typing letters</para>
101
<para>e.g. when you type
102
<literal>'h'</literal> and only one bookmark starts with
103
<literal>'h'</literal>, it is executed immediately - no
107
<para>If more than one bookmarks begins with
108
<literal>'h'</literal>, you will have to continue adding
109
letters, until you have specified enough and again, the
110
bookmark is executed.</para>

<title>Password handling</title>
116
<para>One of the benefits of the
117
<link linkend="bookman">bookmark manager</link> is that the
118
passwords are saved using &kde;'s services - where
119
e.g. your &konqueror;/&kmail;
120
password are saved. If you have a wallet, &kde; will
121
save the passwords there. By clicking the bookmarks, a dialog
122
will open and ask for your username and password. Supply them
123
and click 'save password'. The passwords and usernames will be
124
saved securely by &kde;'s wallet (make sure it is
125
enabled by your distro). The downside here is that if you
126
reinstall and do not backup your passwords from the wallet as
127
well as &krusader;'s bookmark file, something will
