Not a solution to your issue, but worth a comment. Configuring TDE the way it was meant to be used with:

Control Center:

  Peripherals->Mouse->General
    Single-click to open files and folders

  Desktop->Window Behavior->Focus
    Focus
     Policy: Focus Follows Mouse
    [ ] Auto raise
    [ ] Delay focus
    [x] Click raise active window

Konqueror:

  Configure tree-view in the detail pane.

With that config, I've found konqueror to be quite possibly the most elegant, efficient and capable file-manager I've used in 2+ decades of using every desktop and file-manager going.

One key point that many miss is how to select without activating/launching the file under the mouse in the details pane. The key is to click in the "Name" column to the right of the text in the empty-space (or to the right of the text in any other column).

Konqueror is so well thought out that you can accomplish more with fewer mouse-clicks or keystrokes than in any other I've found. It is a real joy to use once you understand its nuances. It truly was designed that way. To accomplish every task in the most efficient manner possible.

Dolphin didn't appear until kde 3.5 was already mature. It was a stripped-down file-manager aimed at being easier to use for new users than konqueror. It was, but it gave up a majority of what makes konqueror such a supreme file-manager.


Never installed any additional themes or created settings for QT5/QT6.

Installing the themes is the easy part, applying them to the application within TDE can be a trick. For Qt5, the too qt5ct (Qt5 config tool) works really well and you likely have a package for your distribution. It is a gui application that allows you to preview the theme and it then writes a small config file. If you are adventurous, you can modify the themes it provide to your liking without much trouble.

Sorry none of this solves your original problem completely, but consider both the use of konqueror and the Qt5ct tool to resolve some of the tangential issues raised. Good luck.
