Update about a sidebar for Konqueror More searching on the web has lead me to this thread:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373824 and to comment no. 27. Using David Faure's suggestion I did the following to create a sidebar: . launch krunner (alt-F2) . enter "/" . click on "Locations Open /" . this will open konqueror as file manager . put a check mark next to "View / Lock to current location" . do "Window / Split view Left/Right" . re-size the left pane to look like a sidebar . from either pane, put a check mark next to "View / Link view" . go to "File / Session / Save as ..." and save this session When you click on a folder in the left pane, it will be show up in the right pane. Tips: . Only these two panes are linked, so if you do "Split view Left/Right" from the right pane, any selection you make in the far left pane will only affect the pane to its immediate right. . I suggest you display the bookmarks toolbar and use bookmarks, it's especially helpful with a split view. . To launch your file manager . go to Application Launcher / Edit Applications... . create a New Item in the folder of your choice, e.g. System or Utilities . give it a Name and Description, and select an icon . in the Command field, put "konqueror --open-session <your_saved_session_name>" . Save . add this new application to Favourites, the panel, or the desktop . To make a global shortcut . go to System Settings / Workspace / Shortcuts / Edit / New / Global Shortcut / Command/URL . give the New Action a name; e.g. KonquerorFM . enter a comment in the Comment tab, if you wish . enter your shortcut key in the Trigger tab . enter the same command in the Action tab that you entered to create the application . click "Apply" Although this method doesn't replace the full-functioning sidebar of Konqueror that's in Stretch, it does help, a bit, in Buster.
