In Settings -> Load View Profile you will see a "Midnight Commander" option, which will open Konqueror with the screen split vertically.
I do not see that profile. I believe konqueror comes with just two profiles: "File Management" and "Web Browsing". Possibly your "Midnight Commander" was added after the Trinity install, or you have some old KDE 3.5 config files in play.
There ought to be a command-line method for invoking this, but
+1 :-)
... unfortunately the Konqueror Handbook doesn't tell how to do it so that it provides the split screen; e.g.
konqueror --profile "Midnight Commander" $HOME&
starts it with a single pane. Adding additional paths to the command causes a "Malformed URL" message.
I avoid embedded spaces in "things" at all costs. :-) Try renaming the profile to "Midnight_Commander" and test that.
Does anyone know how to make this work from the command line?
What you're attempting _does_ work for me at the command line: A split pane profile, with one or the other pane "active" when saving the profile. Then
konqueror --profile Midnight_Commander $HOME
... would open konqueror in split screen with the user's home directory in the saved, active pane -- and the other panel totally blank -- ala about:blank
