Features that are not possible to implement

As of 2018/08/15 it's not possible to implement the following features, because the API is intentionally limiting them or offers no replacement:

• auto-opening panel after downloading is done
• auto-opening file after downloading is done
• dragging and dropping using the official sidebar API doesn't seem possible
• keyboard shortcut modification
