Rocket Browser

Introduction

Rocket Browser is the built-in browser in the Stelllink desktop and mobile apps. Browse the web without leaving Stelllink, and save a page as a Web-Link the moment you find it. Pages and Web-Links you open from the Space Browser also open in Rocket Browser, so finding and opening resources happens on one screen.

#	Area	Description
1	Tab list	Open tabs are listed vertically on the left. The new tab, new incognito tab, new window, find, and print buttons are here too.
2	Address bar	Enter a web address to go to it, or a search term to search Google.
3	Tool buttons	Zoom in and out, Downloads, My favorites, and Save this link.
4	Minimize, close	Minimize Rocket Browser takes you back to the Space Browser and keeps your tabs; Close all tabs closes Rocket Browser.

Especially useful when you want to

• Save reference pages one after another during research without breaking your flow
• Work back and forth between your Space Browser resources and web pages
• Pin web pages you open often to your favorites and open them right away

Open and close

• Open: Click the Browser button in the upper-right corner of the Space Browser, or press Ctrl + Shift + BCmd + Shift + B. If no tabs are open, a Google page opens.
• Open in a new tab: Press Ctrl + TCmd + T to open a new tab right away, even when Rocket Browser is closed.
• Minimize: Click the Minimize Rocket Browser button, or press Ctrl + Shift + BCmd + Shift + B again, to go back to the Space Browser and keep your tabs. When you open it again, you pick up right where you left off.
• Close: Click the Close all tabs button or press Ctrl + Shift + XCmd + Shift + X to close every tab and exit Rocket Browser. Closing the last tab also closes Rocket Browser.

Pages and Web-Links you open from the Space Browser open in a new Rocket Browser tab. To open them in your device’s default browser instead, turn off Prefer Rocket Browser in Preferences. You can also right-click an Item and choose Open in Rocket Browser or Open in external browser to decide each time.

Note

Rocket Browser isn’t available in the web version. To save pages from the web version or your usual browser, use Web Clipper.

Save Web-Links

Save the page you’re viewing as a Web-Link with a single button. There’s no need to stop browsing to choose where to save it, so you can keep collecting pages as you find them.

1. Open the page you want to save in Rocket Browser.
2. Click Save this link in the upper-right corner, or press Ctrl + Shift + SCmd + Shift + S.
3. The page’s title and address are saved as a Web-Link in the Temporary space.

Rocket Browser stays open after saving, so you can go on to the next page and keep saving.

Organize in the Temporary space

The Temporary space is where Web-Links saved from Rocket Browser wait until you organize them. When it holds Web-Links, a Temporary space button appears in the lower-right corner of the screen, and in the desktop app, the Temporary space opens automatically when you close or minimize Rocket Browser after saving a link from it.

• Move: In the Space Browser, open the Cluster or folder you want, then click Move this item to current cluster/folder. You can also drag a Web-Link onto any column or folder.
• Move several at once: Select the Web-Links to move, then click Move selected items to current cluster/folder. When you open the Temporary space, every Web-Link is already selected.
• Delete: Remove Web-Links you don’t need with Delete this item or Delete selected items.

Web-Links stay in the Temporary space until you move or delete them, so you can put them all where they belong once you have time to organize. When the Temporary space is empty, its button disappears.

Deleted Web-Links can’t be restored

Web-Links you delete from the Temporary space are deleted right away, without a confirmation. Double-check which items are selected before you delete.

My favorites

Pin web pages you open often to My favorites so you can open them right away. My favorites in Rocket Browser is the same list as My favorites in the Space Browser.

• Open: Open the panel with the My favorites button in the upper-right corner or Ctrl + Shift + FCmd + Shift + F, then click the item you want.
• Pin: Click Add favorite here on a group to add the page you’re viewing to that group.
• Manage groups: Use New group, Rename group, and Remove group to organize your favorites by topic.
• Move to another group: Drag an item onto another group to move it there. To change the order, use My favorites in Space Browser.

Tabs and windows

Rocket Browser shows its tabs vertically on the left. Hover over a tab to see the page’s title and address.

• New tab: Click the New tab button at the top of the tab list, or press Ctrl + TCmd + T.
• Incognito tab: Click the New incognito tab button, or press Ctrl + Shift + NCmd + Shift + N. Activity in incognito tabs isn’t saved to your browsing history, and incognito tabs aren’t restored when you restart the app.
• Close and reopen tabs: Close a tab with Ctrl + WCmd + W, and reopen a closed tab with Ctrl + Shift + TCmd + Shift + T.
• Switch tabs: On Windows, move through tabs with Ctrl + Tab and Ctrl + Shift + Tab. You can also hold CtrlCmd and scroll the mouse wheel over the tab list to switch tabs. Drag tabs to reorder them.
• Search tabs: Press Ctrl + Shift + ACmd + Shift + A to search open tabs, recently closed tabs, and your browsing history at once.
• New window: Click the New window button at the bottom of the tab list to open another Rocket Browser window. Drag a tab out of the window to split it into a new window, or drop it onto another window to move it there.

Right-click a tab to use New tab to the next, Duplicate, Refresh, Mute tab, Close, and Close other tabs. Your open tabs are restored when you restart the app.

Address bar

Enter a web address in the address bar to go to that page, or a search term to search Google. As you type, matching pages from your browsing history appear too.

• Enter: Opens in the current tab.
• Shift + Enter: Opens in a new tab.
• Ctrl + Shift + EnterCmd + Shift + Enter: Opens in a new incognito tab.

Press Ctrl + LCmd + L to start typing in the address bar right away. The icon on the left of the address bar shows whether the page uses a secure connection (HTTPS), and the Open this link in external browser button on the right opens the page you’re viewing in your device’s default browser.

Handy features

• Find: Press Ctrl + FCmd + F to find text on the page.
• Zoom: Use the Zoom in and Zoom out buttons in the upper-right corner, or Ctrl + =Cmd + = and Ctrl + -Cmd + -, to change the page size, and Ctrl + 0Cmd + 0 to reset it. Each tab keeps its own zoom level.
• Print: Press Ctrl + PCmd + P to print the page.
• Downloads: Downloaded files are saved to your device’s Downloads folder. Check their progress, or pause and cancel downloads, with the Downloads button that appears in the upper-right corner once you download a file, or Ctrl + JCmd + J.
• Browsing history: Press Ctrl + YCmd + Y to open Browsing history, search the pages you’ve visited, and use Open in new tab or Delete history.
• Camera and microphone permissions: Sites that use your camera or microphone, such as video meetings, ask for your permission first. A permission you allow lasts only in that tab and is revoked when you leave the page or close the tab.

Manage internet data

In Preferences > Rocket Browser, under Internet data, you can check and delete Rocket Browser’s Browsing history, Cookies and other site data, and Cached images and files. Select what you want to remove, then click Delete selected items. Deleting cookies doesn’t sign you out of Stelllink.
