How to make Konqueror open shell scripts in an editor instead of running them

A few minutes of googling found this very useful tip. If you want Konqueror to open shell scripts in an editor instead of running them (usually in the background, which isn't usually very useful), just add the x-shellscript MIME type to the text group in Konqueror's file association settings. You

Re: A silly question about tar [solved]

So it looks like the ultimate solution is Greg Folkert's suggestion to install the package "unp", which handles multiple archives and automatically chooses the right extractor. Cameron Hutchison's shell function is also handy, but unp probably makes that unnecessary if you can install packages on
