<menuchoice><shortcut> <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>N</keycap></keycombo> </shortcut> <guimenu>File</guimenu> <guimenuitem>New</guimenuitem> </menuchoice>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>This command <action>starts a new document</action> in the editing window. In the <guibutton>Filelist</guibutton> on the left the new file is named <emphasis>Untitled</emphasis>. </para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>

<menuchoice><shortcut> <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>O</keycap></keycombo> </shortcut> <guimenu>File</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Open</guimenuitem> </menuchoice>
</term>
<listitem>
<para>This command does not <action>open a file</action>. It launches &kde;'s open file dialogue box which waits for you to select the files you want to open. </para>
<para>The open file dialogue box works like a simple version of &konqueror;. Use your &LMB; to click on a file name to select it. Double-click on a file name to open that file. Once you've selected a file name, you can also press the <guibutton>OK</guibutton> button to open the file. </para>
<tip>
<para>Select multiple files by holding down the &Ctrl; or the &Shift; key along with the &LMB;. <keycombo action="simul"> &Ctrl;<mousebutton>Left</mousebutton> </keycombo> click selects one file at a time. <keycombo action="simul"> &Shift;<mousebutton>Left</mousebutton> </keycombo> click selects a contiguous set of files. </para>
</tip>
<para>Clicking on a folder name in the file selection window opens that folder and displays its contents. Clicking on a file name shows a thumbnail view of the file in the preview window to the right of the file system window. </para>
<para>Use the buttons and combo box on the toolbar above the file selection window to move through the file system or to adjust the properties of the open file dialogue box. </para>
<para>Below the file selection window is the Location combo box. Type the name of the file you want to edit here. If you click the arrow on the right of the drop down box, you can choose from recently used files. Open several files at once by quoting each file name. </para>
<para>Below the Location combo box is the Filter combo box. Enter file masks here to filter the kinds of files shown in the selection window. For example, typing the filter <literal role="extension">*.txt</literal> and pressing <keycap>Enter</keycap> will limit the display to files with a <literal role="extension">.txt</literal> extension. The Filter combo contains a list of your most recently used filters. </para>
