How to Open Konqueror in the Directory as Your Current Shell
This is not really a Knoppix specific tip, but useful none the less for people who use Konqueror.
Have you ever been in a shell, a few directories deeper than your home directory and want to be able to open Konqueror in that same directory without having to open it and navigate there manually? I sure have. There is a way to do this.
From the shell type this:
Then Konqueror will open to the directory that you are currently located in. Since I do a lot of navigating from the shell, but sometimes want to open and use some of the Konqueror file tools, I find this really useful. Hopefully others will too.

I usually end up in the opposite situation. Browsing a directory with konq and wanting to change to a terminal window.

That's nice. I had been right clicking on the screen and choosing the "Open Terminal Here" option, but I like your way better.

Hi All
Thanks. This has solved a problem for
an expect script I am writing.
My solution was not giving the correct KDE
look. The links were underlined.
MyCode
Code:
konqueror --config /etc/kderc /home/knoppix
Where is there documentation for kfmclient?
Can I influence the window geometry or where it
pops up?
My most important question is how do you come up
with a discovery like this? What is your secret --
or are you not telling? If I have a key word
how do I search all the manuals -- or do you
just read them alphabetically.
K --> Help --> UNIX manual pages
has a lot to browse through but it
would be nice to have a search function.
Thanks!
Best Wishes

I figured there must be a way to do this so I googled for it. I came up with this page. It contains everything I know about the matter. Hopefully it's helpful.

It won't help in all situations, but 'apropos <keyword>' searches the manual page names and descriptions.

--If you want to emulate Win behavior, edit ~/.bashrc and put in an alias:
alias start="kfmclient exec ."
Then ' source ~/.bashrc ' to grab the change.
