You can get Konqueror to help you enter a path or URL into the Location Toolbar by enabling one of the features. To do this click on a clear part of the Location Toolbar text entry box and select from the pop up menu. This will let you choose between the following options:
What you get is what you type.
When you have typed part of a path or URL, pressing Ctrl+E will complete the entry if it is possible to do so unambiguously.
As you type into the Location Toolbar window Konqueror will automatically extend what you type to complete one possible path or URL, highlighting the characters it has added. Continue typing if that's not what you wanted or press Enter to accept it.
A drop-down window will appear as you type, showing the possible matches to what you have typed so far. When the path or URL that you want appears in the window double click on it with the mouse button. You can also use the Down Arrow and Up Arrow keys to select it then press Enter.
This is like Automatic mode except that it only extends what you have typed as far as the next / symbol in the path or URL. Press Ctrl+E to accept the suggestion, Enter when the complete path or URL is shown.
You should try out these different modes and pick the one that suits you best.
The history of recently visited URLs that Konqueror uses for the Text Completion function can be viewed and edited in the History page of the Navigation Panel.
