--- Comment #52 from emanon <[email protected]> ---
Commenting here, because the other thread seems closed (
https://discuss.kde.org/t/slightly-strange-behaviour-in-dolphin/40209/201 )

I was of the opinion that I would have to live with this feature/bug a while
longer but eventually the handling  of “new folder in selected folder” would be
reverted to a behavior similar to every other environment under the sun
(Windows/Mac/Nautilus/Nemo).

So regardless of “selected folder” the “Ctrl-Shift-N”, ”New folder” will be
created in the PWD.

For people like me, who use the keyboard (arrow-keys, alt and enter) to
navigate folders in Dolphin, the new “feature” is absolutely annoying. There is
always some folder “selected”, so folders get created in random places
constantly. 

I switch between OS’es and I do not want to constantly remember a unique
“KDE/Plasma special case”. But using Plasma and switching a central component
like the file-manager to something foreign like Nemo/Nautilus is not easily
done and has many side-effects. 

However, the way Dolphin works now is time-consuming and frankly infuriating,
so I would appreciate to know what will happen next:

- will dolphin work again as every other file-manager in existence?
- will users be given a choice to disable this unusual, KDE-only behavior in
settings?
- are people like me expected to switch to Nautilus or Nemo?
