Left and Middle Mouse Button Actions

If you click the left mouse button on an item in Konqueror's window, it will be “activated”. Thus

Clicking the middle mouse button on a file or folder name or icon does essentially the same as left clicking except that it usually does it in a new Konqueror window, unless the Open links in new tab instead of in new window box has been checked in the Behavior page of the Settings->Configure Konqueror... dialog. Konqueror can open links on pages and Bookmarks, as well as the Home, Up, Back and Forward entries in a new tab or window.

Holding the Shift key down while pressing the middle mouse button will open the link in the background.

Important

If you click the middle mouse button when the mouse cursor is over a blank part of the main view (not over a link or file name or icon) Konqueror will copy the contents of the clipboard into the Location Toolbar and try to use that as a URL.
