Re: How to scroll through and view documents ??

This is pretty rough but it might do what you want it to do, but it
could be a lot better:

for I in *.{html,pdf,odt,doc,docx}; do kde-open5 $I; done

Just add whatever document types to the part in the {}s and it will open
all the documents in the current directory.

There's no limit to the number of document so be careful that your
directory doesn't contain more than a few documents.
