almost all the f keys do something fun in dolphin - f11, for instance, toggles the file info panel

also, if you right-click on the title of any of the panels, you can unlock them and move them around. dolphin is by far the best file manager i've used, but its feature discoverability isn't perfect

Dolphin is good but it needs a lot of configuration to get it right. Their default settings are a weird choice, like missing location bar, no folder up button etc.

Ask ten people what good defaults would be and you'll get ten very different responses. This is exactly why Dolphin, and Plasma in general, are so easy to tweak to your ideal.

Dolphin the file manager I always wanted.
