Window split modes

Brainstorm
1

  1. Please, implement additional split window mode(s) (details on attached screenshot).

  2. Additionally, think it over, how these mode(s) behave with the current Window sticky position at the moment of Split-mode selection.

    Thank you,
    I rely on your best opinion in implementation and your experience

Have you looked at Konqueror?
Some small settings tweaks to add the menu buttons, and the toggling on the sidebar:

I would also like the option to add extra columns for list view, or vertical splits. Quite frequently I had to use two dual-pane Dolphin windows split top/bottom half of the screen.

This is the main reason I have Konqueror installed, with my workflow saved as a session to easily resume… but sadly that means also using a different workflow (lacking my comfortable Dolphin shortcuts and so forth).

That’s why konqueror/krusader exist where dolphin the usable-first option isn’t sufficient anymore.

konqueror can be improved with shortcuts…
