Konqueror remains one of the most powerful tools on the Linux desktop. It manages to be the Swiss Army knife of file managers for KDE as well as a fantastic web browser. Even as a GNOME user, I find myself firing up Konqueror every now and then. VnTutor as put has put together a nice list of 10 little known features of Konqueror. My favorites:

1. As a Web browser, Konqueror allows you to navigate easily a web site with access keys. You try to open a site with Konqueror, hit Ctrl key to activate access keys and you will see a bunch of boxed characters appear. Type any character you like to navigate the link.

4. Another score for Konqueror is the bookmark toolbar with a “View Most Visited” feature found under the View menu.

8. Easily access the file system of any computer which is running a SSH daemon. For example, to access the files of linux.com as user vntutor, enter into location bar:

fish://vntutor@linux.com
