I can't find the instructions for using K3b.

In the screenshot from the KDE website, the top line says “File Project Device Tools Settings Help”. When I open K3b on my Acer laptop running Mint 19.1, that line doesn’t appear. (Sorry, I don’t know what that line is called) I assume there is a way to toggle it on and off, but I can’t find it. Normally, that’s where I would start. There must be an instruction page somewhere.

CTRL+M should toggle the menu bar

When I click the Help button and select K3b Handbook, I get:
The URI ‘help:k3b/index’ does not point to a valid page

K3B is disk burning software, right? I used this years ago when I still burned stuff onto CD/DVD.

By default it shows up with the menu, Ctrl_M toggles that on and off…

However, unlike you, if I press F1 I do see the handbook… perhaps because I’m using Plasma desktop.

So your distribution likely only installed the minimum k3b installation, not the full Plasma environment :wink: so you can choose to either install the whole khelpcenter or you can just try a search online:
