Package: konqueror
Version: 2.0-20000827-0 (Debian beta4 version or slightly later)
Severity: wishlist

konqueror is missing some important functionality that would make the user's
experience much more pleasant so that konqueror would more quickly obtain
world domination.  ;-)

(1) Mouse focus policy: Currently you must click on a page in order to make
the arrow, pageup, and pagedown keys work. I prefer "focus follows mouse"
for my desktop which I have configured under window behaviour/actions, but
which konqueror currently ignores.  Please just change konqueror to follow
this configured policy.  Alternatively, if you don't view this as strictly
the same as mouse focus policy, then make a separate configuration item for
konqueror so that the user at least has the option of eliminating the
annoying extra keyclick that is currently required before arrow, etc., keys
become functional.

(2) Configuration of colours:  Currently, there seems to be no way to
configure default colours or overriding colours of web pages as in netscape.
My wife particularly wants this feature so for this large scientific sample
it is definitely a selling point.  ;-)

(3) Visited links:  visited links do not change colour, and there is no way to
specify (a la netscape) how long you keep the visited links data.  I would
also like to be able to configure the colour of visited and unvisited links
(see [2] above).

So far I am spending about 2/3rd my browsing time in mozilla m17 and 1/3rd
in konqueror, but I would definitely spend almost all my browsing time using
konqueror if the above fundamental functionality were added.
