Hide the Sidebar in Konqueror

Written by BinnyVA on July 7, 2007 – 11:12 pm -

Konqueror is one of my favorite Linux applications. But as a File manager, it has a slight problem - the sidebar. I have never used it. I cannot understand why it is turned on by default. It is easy to hide it by pressing F9 - but I want to turn it off permanently.

Konqueror Sidebar

  • First, open a folder using Konqueror.
  • Window->Hide Navigation Panel(F9)
  • Settings->Save View Profile(File Management)
  • Overwrite the existing File Management profile
  • Restart Konqueror - this time the sidebar will be hidden.

If you want to see the sidebar again, just press F9.
