+<title>Toolbars</title>
+
+<para>When &kde; is newly installed, &konqueror;'s window contains a Menubar,
+Main and Location Toolbars and possibly a Bookmark Toolbar.</para>
+
+<para>Maybe you don't need all these toolbars. To hide one of them, go into
+the <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guisubmenu>Toolbars</guisubmenu>
+</menuchoice> menu and uncheck its box. To show a hidden toolbar, just check
+the box.</para>
+
+<para>The Menubar itself can be toggled on and off with the shortcut key
+combination <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>M</keycap></keycombo>.
+</para>
+
+<!-- FIXME -->
+<para>On the left hand end of each bar you can see some vertical
+lines. By &LMB; clicking on them, you <quote>flatten</quote> the bar, meaning
+that it is hidden but can be quickly restored by clicking on the now
+horizontal lines. You can also drag a bar into a new position with these
+lines.</para>
+
+<para>If you <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on a Toolbar, you
+will get a menu to configure this bar. You can choose the orientation, text
+position and icon size</para>
+
+<para>The icons shown in the various bars can be changed by using the
+<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Configure
+Toolbars...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> option, which brings up the
+<guilabel>Configure Toolbars</guilabel> dialog box. The Main and Extra Toolbars
+are divided into sections, such as Main Toolbar &lt;&konqueror;&gt;, Main
+Toolbar &lt;khtmlpart&gt; and Extra Toolbar &lt;khtmlsettingsplugin&gt;. The
+number and type of these sections will depend on whether &konqueror; is in Web
+Browser or File Manager mode and whether you have &konqueror; plugins
+installed.</para>

+<para>To change the shortcut key arrangements used by &konqueror; select

+</mediaobject>
+<para>Search through the combo box to find the action you want to add or
+change the shortcut keys for and select it by <mousebutton>left</mousebutton>
+clicking on the name. You will then be able to change the shortcut by
+selecting the <guilabel>None</guilabel>, <guilabel>Default</guilabel> or
+<guilabel>Custom</guilabel> radio button or by clicking on the large button in
+the <guilabel>Shortcut for Selected Action</guilabel> area.</para>

+<para>If you select <guilabel>Define Shortcut</guilabel>, and then
+select <guilabel>Advanced</guilabel>, the dialog box below will be shown:

+<para>Choose whether you want to change the <guilabel>Primary</guilabel> or
+<guilabel>Alternate</guilabel> shortcut then press the key combination you
+want to act as the shortcut, for example <keycombo action="simul">
+&Ctrl;&Shift;<keycap>S</keycap></keycombo>.
+If the <guilabel>Auto-Close</guilabel> box is checked the dialog will vanish
+as soon as you enter the key combination, otherwise it will remain until you
+press <guibutton>OK</guibutton> or <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton>. Clicking on
+the little black icon with a white cross in it clears the shortcut.</para>

+<sect2 id="userdefmenus">
+<title>User Defined Menus</title>
+<para>You can add your own pop up menu to &konqueror; so that pressing one key
+combination will make the menu appear then pressing a second key, or using the
+<keysym>Up arrow</keysym> and <keysym>Down arrow</keysym> keys and pressing
+<keycap>Enter</keycap>, will select an item from it.</para>
+<para>To do this add a <guilabel>Custom</guilabel> shortcut for each of the
+actions you want to appear in the menu and in the <guilabel>Define Shortcut
+</guilabel> dialog check the <guilabel>Multi-Key</guilabel> box, press the
+key combination that you want to bring up your new menu then, separately,

+<title>Other Settings</title>

+It contains several sections which are selected by <mousebutton>left

+box.</para>
+<para>Pressing the <guibutton>Help</guibutton> button will give you
