This bug has been here for 13 years.
There are 9 people in the mail for each update (just 9!).
There are no duplicates.
And literally just a handful of comments.

This feature, even if you consider it important, is a micro feature for a very
verry verry small percentage of users.

How it works in the FOSS world is that you put in the time to get the stuff in
you deem important. Usually that means you need to make the solution too. In
this case i already did so (though crude) so you have a starting point.

If you care for the feature then you need to put in the effort of getting it
patched in. I don't need it nor care for it so i won't be doing that.

This is a nice starting point to start contributing patches through the proper
channel: https://community.kde.org/Infrastructure/GitLab or
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development for the more broad
information of getting involved.

Note that this is by no means a way for me to redirect you to the review
process in hopes that you either give up or that it gets rejected in gitlab
when under review. Dolphin also has a feature to copy (and another for moving)
the selected files from your active view to your inactive view with a single
key combination. A feature i discovered because i made a patch for this
feature. That is a feature that's probably also used by a super small
percentage of people. So i'm guessing that if you go through the process of
getting it reviewed, you have a good change of getting it accepted!
