Easier way to turn Konqueror 3.1.1 proxy on/off?

Currently, I use my laptop at home where it connects to my router- no proxy required but at work I do need the proxy. I realize that this might seem trivial but it would be nice if somehow I could put a shortcut on the desktop to turn the proxy on and off. As it stands, with the "configure" button on the browser it takes 3 clicks to turn the proxy on- one would be oh so nice. Thanks for any ideas.

Well, whatever I try I need at least 3 steps.

So you should add a report in KDE Bugs ( http://bugs.kde.org ) to wish such a feature.

Have a nice day!

If you enable the extra menu
Settings -> Toolbars -> Show extra toolbar
you get a menu button that allows you
to temporarily enable/disable the following settings:

JavaScript
Java
Cookies
Plugins
Autoload images
Proxy
Cache

The Proxy item is probably what you want.
Note that this icon is only shown if konqi is in webbrowser mode
so you must enter a web page URL (or have a http://xxx
as your start page) before you're able to switch the proxy off.

BTW: You can store the setting that the extra tool bar is to be enabled
in the profile. After enabling it click:
Settings -> Save View Profile "webbrowsing"
That way you only have to do that step once.

I think the menu is called "Tools" in the english version.

Anyway, the functionality there is provided by Konqueror plugins, usually packaged within kdeaddons.

KDE 3.1.4 has only "Run Command", "Open Console" and "Find File" in the Tool menu. I do not think that it is what you have meant, isn't it?

Have a nice day!

I see what you mean. You're right, there is a menu called
"Tools" with an item "HTML settings" that contains these
options. But what I meant was a way to get these settings
as a toolbar button so it can be set more easily.
Well, OTOH it only saves you the traversal of one menu.

This may very well be. I never know where a certain program
or feature came from because I did a complete installation.

As anda_skoa has pointed out the feature seems to be in the kdeaddons package.

Actually I didn't talk about the menu but about getting a toolbar button.
But I guess the thing I suggested doesn't work without kdeaddons, either...

Sorry, I did not get that kdeaddons was needed.

Neither did I know it before anda_skoa mentioned it.
I have that package installed so I didn't know it any different...

Thanks guys- the Tool menu is a fine solution.
