Chapter 2. Getting Started

Here is a list of Kgpg's main components:

System Tray Icon


When you start Kgpg, a system tray icon will appear. A left mouse button click will open the Key Manager window, while a right mouse button click will open a menu allowing quick access to some important features. You can also drop files or text on the applet icon to encrypt or decrypt it.

Key Manager Window


That's the central place to manage your keys. To open the Key Manager window, left mouse button on Kgpg's applet. You can import, export, sign and edit your keys. Most actions can be performed with a left mouse button click on a key.

Editor Window


It's a simple text editor, where you can type or paste text to encrypt/decrypt it. To open the editor, right mouse button on Kgpg's applet.

Konqueror Integration

Kgpg is integrated in Konqueror. It means that when you right click on a file, you can choose Actions->Encrypt File to encrypt a file. You can decrypt a file with a left mouse button click.
