Konqueror can use a twin-panel view, just choose Window / Split.

Does it have third panel with command like ?

That is what defines Twin-Panel filemanager: two panels and command line. Two panels by itself are not a big deal.

Actually, yes. You can split the window left/right, and then add a full
terminal emulator at the bottom. You can actually split the windows
arbitrarily top/bottom and left/right to have a grid of 4 file manager
windows and a command line at the bottom.

Four panels are useless. It's Ok to work with two panels: two possibilities (left active/right inactive vs left inactive/right active). With four panels there are 24 possibilities and navigation becomess a mess (mouse is no-go if you want speed).

Hmm... Looks like it's time to install and check Konqueror once more. Terminal emulator is integrated with panels, right ? I.e.: if I change current directory in terminal emulation panels on top will be affected as well and vice versa - this is not just three unrelated windows, right ?

I'm pretty happy with MC, actually - but there are known problems and development is stalled...

Yes it's true that Konqueror can use a twin-panel view,
but than it is still not a OFM like Krusader.

Or even better: Settings->Load View Profile->Midnight Commander

Konqueror in "Midnight Commander Profile",
is still not the same like the original Midnight Commander.
It has not the power of an (OFM) Orthodox File Manager

btw. Konqueror and Krusader are using both KDElibs, KIOslaves, ...
but the GUI is different because Krusader is an OFM.
