Krusader worked properly with Fluxbox, so it shouldn't need KDE desktop,
but you're correct that you need to go carefully thro' its config options.
There are fast-switching options, but you may have to look for them :
you can set bookmarks at the top of each panel,
which I use to access an external site via Fuse among other places,
& there's an option to call up a directory tree.
The Krusader WWW site has a PDF manual you can download.
Take a bit of time to look at everything Krusader offers.
