If you’re like most people, you probably spend a lot of time in KDE’s Settings dialogs. But sometimes it can be hard to find the right button or to figure out how to change a setting. To make your life easier, KDE has added quick access buttons to many of the dialogs. You can find them by clicking on the gear icon in the top left corner of the dialog, and then selecting “Settings Quick Access.” This feature is especially handy if you use several different settings often. For example, you might have quick access buttons for your computer’s language, keyboard layout, and display settings. ..
The KDE settings dialogs can be easily launched by entering in the path into Konqueror. Just type in settings:/ into the Konqueror address bar and you will see the different options pop up:
You can also quickly access one of the panels by just typing in the full path into the Alt+F2 run dialog:
Hit enter, and you will see the settings dialog for the Look And Feel panel pop right up:
We can even go further by typing in the full path to one of the options, for instance the background menu:
Hit enter, and you’ll be taken directly to the background configure screen:
It’s still easiest to do this in Konquerer, since you will get the auto-complete, but you can’t beat the speed of the Alt+F2 Run Command dialog.
