Chapter 2. Fundamentals

This section describes what you see in the main KGhostView window, the actions of the Toolbar buttons and how to use the Page List.

You can open multiple instances of KGhostView to view multiple documents. The title bar at the top of a window shows you the name of the document in that window.

The main area displays a page of the current document. If the page is too large to fit inside the window, scroll bars are automatically added to the sides of the display, although these can be disabled with the Settings menu.

Note that the Toolbar and the Page List can be hidden with the Settings menu options to give more space on the screen for the content area.

You can scroll up and down in a page with the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys, or use the View->Read Up Document (Shift+Space ) and View->Read Down Document (Ctrl+Space) options to scroll through the entire document.

The Next Page and Previous Page Toolbar buttons do what they say, or you can go immediately to any page with a left mouse button click on the appropriate entry in the Page List.

If selected in the Settings menu a Page List will be displayed at the left side of the window. This list has two columns: the first may contain a flag indicating that the page has been marked, the second contains the page numbers. You can use this page list to navigate through the document or to mark pages for printing.

You can toggle the “page marked” flag for the currently displayed page with Ctrl+M or for any page by middle mouse button clicking on it in the Page List. You can also clear or change your page marks using the drop-down menu that is activated by right mouse button clicking anywhere in the Page List area or by selecting the PageMarks menu.
