--- Comment #10 from [email protected] --- “You may also use the Arrow Keys to go the next item and Shift+Arrow to select multiple items. Isn't that the better approach?” ==No, because of the following situation that happens to me often: I use the Alphabetlcal, case sensitive sorting mode in Dolphin. It is a sorting mode that I like. What it does is that folders come first and they are alphabetically sorted (Names that start with numbers come first but I don’t care about that). Files come after and they are alphabetically sorted. So, if I have a large number of folders and files, with various names, let’s say I have a folder named “george” selected, and I want to jump to a file that starts with “a”, I press A on my keyboard, the selector jumps backwards and selects a folder that starts with “a” (Let’s call it a100) instead of going forward and selecting a file that starts with “a”. As soon as I move the selector by pressing an arrow key and I press A on my keyboard, the selector jumps backwards and selects the first folder that starts with “a” (a100). If I only use the arrow key as you suggested, I would have to pass through a thousand files, do a lot of scrolling to find the files that start with “a”. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
