Konqueror is still included in current versions of KDE Applications (effectively 5.x, but the term "KDE 5" isn't really used).
Also, it's not so much a Konqueror thing as it is a feature of KDE's URL-handling subsystem. Any KDE application that interacts with URLs can retrieve HTML-formatted man pages. If you don't like Konqueror, you can always use Rekonq. Or you can open the source code in KWrite or Kate. Or you can browse man indices in Dolphin as if they were directories (though the actual pages will open in Konqueror).
KIO slaves are wonderful, wonderful things. It's the same technology that lets you use fish:// to access files and directories over SSH in every KDE program that deals with URLs (and since the file open/save dialogs are URL-based, this means it'll work with anything that uses those dialogs).
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoThanks, yeah I used to use fish:/ and fonts:/ and a couple of other kio slaves, just not man, low discoverability I guess. I thought kio slaves had died with KDE5 [that's still the right name IMO despite the framework:applications split]. TIL.
- amyjess 10y agoYeah, they neutered a lot of stuff with KF5 (the elimination of KLocale honestly makes me want to go back to Windows), but KIO is still around. Unfortunately, it looks like fonts:/ was never ported to KF5, but fish:// and a bunch of others are still around.
