<title>Scrolling</title>
<para>You're probably familiar with the scrollbar that appears on the right side
(and sometimes the bottom) of documents, allowing you to move within documents.
However, there are several other ways you can navigate documents, some of which
are faster and easier.</para>
<para>Several mice have a wheel in the middle. You can move it up and down to
scroll within a document. If you press the &Shift; key while using the mouse
wheel, the document will scroll faster.</para>
<para>If you're using a portable computer like a laptop, you might also be able
to scroll using the touchpad. Some computers allow you to scroll vertically
by moving your finger up and down the rightmost side of the touchpad, and allow
you to scroll horizontally by moving your finger across the bottommost side
of the touchpad. Others let you scroll using two fingers: move both fingers
up and down anywhere on the touchpad to scroll vertically, and move them left
and right to scroll horizontally. Since this functionality emulates the mouse
wheel functionality described above, you can also press the &Shift; key while
you do this to scroll faster.</para>
<para>If you use the &plasma-workspaces;, you can control mouse wheel behavior
in the <ulink url="help:/kcontrol/mouse/">Mouse module in &systemsettings;</ulink>,
and you can control touchpad scrolling behavior in the Touchpad module in
&systemsettings;. Otherwise, look in the configuration area of your operating
system or desktop environment.</para>
<para>Additionally, the scrollbar has several options in its context menu. You
can access these by right-clicking anywhere on the scrollbar. The following
options are available:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry id="nav-scroll-here">

<title>Introduction</title>
<para>Many &kde; applications work with files. Most applications have a
<guimenu>File</guimenu> menu with options that allow you to open and save files.
For more information on that, see <xref linkend="menus-file"/>. However,
there are lots of different operations that require selecting a file. Regardless
of the method, all &kde; applications generally use the same file selection
window.</para>
