<title
>Automatic Text Completion</title
> 

<para
>You can get &konqueror; to help you enter a path or &URL; into the Location Toolbar by enabling one of the <guimenuitem
>Text Completion</guimenuitem
> features. To do this <mousebutton
>right</mousebutton
> click on a clear part of the Location Toolbar text entry box and select <guisubmenu
>Text Completion</guisubmenu
> from the pop up menu. This will let you choose between the following options:</para>

<variablelist>

<varlistentry>
<term

<listitem

<listitem
><para
>When you have typed part of a path or &URL;, pressing <keycombo action="simul"
>&Ctrl;<keycap

</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term

<listitem

<term
><guimenuitem

<listitem
><para
>A drop-down window will appear as you type, showing the possible matches to what you have typed so far. When the path or &URL; that you want appears in the window double click on it with the &LMB;. You can also use the <keysym
>Down Arrow</keysym
> and <keysym
>Up Arrow</keysym

<varlistentry>
<term

<listitem

<para

<para
>The history of recently visited &URL;s that &konqueror; uses for the Text Completion function can be viewed and edited in the <guilabel
>History </guilabel
