Thank you both, I have tried various combinations but can't get it to work 
with a single click.  See attached screenshots of systemsettings5 for KDE-wide 
mouse input and of krusader settings for Panel/Selection mode.

I still prefer hands down how old Konqueror could be split to multiple 
horizontal and vertical regions (like tmux) and its side panel.  For me 
Krusader is not that much different to how Dolphin works, except that it does 
not come with a side panel and has all the <F#> shortcut buttons.  I'll take 
it for a test drive while I lament the loss of Konqueror and see if it grows 
on me.
