--- Comment #1 from Felix Ernst <felixernst at kde.org> ---
Confirmed. I'll paste what I said before for general context on how one could
proceed here.

I have long said that the way Dolphin allows managing panels is not ideal. I
have given a concept of how this could be improved back in 2019
(https://phabricator.kde.org/T11579#199870). This is about unifying various
applications on one feature-rich component that allows moving panels easily.
Since then the panel chooser from Kate/KWrite has made the most progress. It
already allows having panels side-by-side the same way that you wish for.

So in a way what you want is something that has been talked about for many
years now but it would take someone with some time and some expertise to evolve
the panel chooser of Kate/KWrite to a general component that every application
can use. If that panel chooser would then allow to collapse/hide the chooser
itself like it was suggested in https://phabricator.kde.org/T11579#216223, we
wouldn't even have to change Dolphin's default look to gain the feature that
you are requesting.
