Like all &kde; applications, &rekonq; is highly
configurable. This document describes how &rekonq; behaves with the normal,
default settings.
A three button mouse can be useful when you are running
&rekonq; or any other &kde; application. If your mouse only has two buttons
then you should be able to set your system up so that you can simulate a a middle mouse button by pressing both buttons at the same time.
If you are used to having to double-click to perform an action,
then take care, because in common with the rest of &kde;, &rekonq; defaults
to single-clicking.
