<title>The Browser Window</title>
<para>
<application>Galeon</application>'s interface should be familiar to
anyone who has used any popular Web browser like
<application>Netscape</application> or
<application>Mozilla</application>. There is a menubar at the top of
the window, a main toolbar below it, and a statusbar at the bottom of
the window. There may also be other toolbars, created by the user for
often used bookmarks, as described in <xref linkend="bookmarks-toolbars"/>.

<sect1 id="navigation">
<title>Basic Navigation</title>
<para>
As with any browser, the most common form of navigation is clicking
on links. Galeon also supports a number of other mouse interactions:
<simplelist>
<member><guibutton>Shift+Left Click:</guibutton> Download link</member>
<member><guibutton>Middle Click:</guibutton> Open link in new tab, unless changed in
preferences, see <xref linkend="prefs-mouse"/>
</member>
<member><guibutton>Shift+Middle Click:</guibutton> Open link in new window</member>
<member><guibutton>Right Click:</guibutton> Display context menu</member>
</simplelist>
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="menubar">
<title>Menus</title>
<para>
Depending on your window manager settings, there may be a small dashed
line under each menu. Clicking on this allows
a menu to be detached from the menubar and to float above the browser
window.

<title>Tabbed Browsing</title>
<para>
<application>Galeon</application>'s "tabbed browsing" feature can
help you avoid cluttering your desktop with browser windows.
Multiple pages can be stored in a single
<application>Galeon</application> window, and you can switch between
them with a click of the mouse. The behavior of the tabbed browsing
mode can be configured in the <link
linkend="prefs-tabs">"Tabs" page of the Preferences
Window</link>.

<para>
To start using tabs, either create a new tab through the <link
linkend="menubar-file"><guimenu>File menu</guimenu></link> or open a
link in a new tab by right-clicking it and choosing the
<guimenuitem>Open in a new tab</guimenuitem> item from the context
menu. By default, a tab listing will appear below the toolbar at the
top of the window. You can also drag links onto a tab to have that
link loaded in a particular tabbed window. This is handy if you want
to load a page in a different tab than the one you are currently
viewing but don't necessarily want to open a new tab.
</para>
<para>
You can switch to different pages by clicking on their corresponding
tabs. When the tab listing becomes too long to fit in the window,
arrows will appear at its right, allowing you to scroll through the
listing. Additionally, right-clicking on a tab will display a menu
containing all of the tabs. The <guimenuitem>Previous
tab</guimenuitem> and <guimenuitem>Next tab</guimenuitem> menu items
in the <link linkend="menubar-tab"><guimenu>Tab menu</guimenu></link>
allow you to jump to the previous or next tab in the listing.
Finally, you can jump directly to a tab by typing <keycombo>
<keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>[0-9]</keycap> </keycombo> where 1 is the
first page and 0 is the tenth page.
</para>
<para>
You can close tabs either by making them active and then using the
<guimenuitem>Close</guimenuitem> item from the <link
linkend="menubar-file"><guimenu>File menu</guimenu></link>, or by
clicking the small "X" button that appears at the
right edge of each tab.
</para>
<para>
<!--
Tabs can also be moved, either to different positions in the listing
or to different windows altogether. The easiest way to do this is by
holding the left mouse button down on a tab and dragging it either to
another tab or to another window. Alternately, you can use the
<guimenuitem>Move tab left / up</guimenuitem> and <guimenuitem>Move
tab right / down</guimenuitem> menu items in the <link
linkend="menubar-tab"><guimenu>Tab menu</guimenu></link> to shift a
tab within its current tab listing. The <guimenuitem>Detach
tab</guimenuitem> item will move the currently selected tab into a
new window.
