>Ideally it should also be exposed in other UI as well.

This could either be done by a button on the information panel or as a page in
the Dolphin settings or both. I currently don't have a clear preference about
this. Either seems alright I think.

>So does this only apply to the information panel, or to all panels?

This bug report should only track the information panel IMO. That being said,
here are my thoughts:
- I think it is generally a weighting up: We don't want to worsen the UI or UX
for advanced users just because we want to follow the rule of not having
actions exclusively available through a context menu at all costs. If there is
a nice way to make those actions available, we should.
- The terminal panel is mostly used as a feature for experts, so we can assume
that most of them know how to right-click. But if we find a nice way to have
settings for it within the panel, that might be neat.
- I made the places panel keyboard accessible, so some of the issues mentioned
in the link above do not apply to it anymore. I also feel like most of the
actions in the places panel context menu are not important enough to need a
secondary way to access them. That being said: It might be that some users will
not be able to figure out how to remove/hide an item in the places panel, which
I would consider a problem.
- For the folders panel, I don't know yet. I haven't formed an opinion.
