Ten KDE 4 Tricks Worth Knowing About

“Dolphin’s Inline CLI

“This trick in particular is one I stumbled on purely by
accident, but when I first saw it, all I could say was, “Whoa”,
because I immediately had a surge of ideas go through my head as to
why it’s so useful. If you’re anything like me, you spend a fair
amount of time in a file manager, and as a result, you probably
juggle files around often, moving them from one spot to another,
copying them, removing them, et cetera.

“If you’re also like me, you use the command-line just as often
in order to take care of tasks quickly, (especially to delete a
file, since KDE can make that a very slow process at times). In KDE
3.x, there was always an option to right-click inside of a folder
and open up the Konsole which would set you in the respective
folder, but in KDE 4, that functionality was removed. Instead, this
inline CLI was introduced, and all you have to do is push F4 when
in a folder (the reason I stumbled on it in the first place is
because I accidentally didn’t hit the Alt for Alt+F4).”
