--- Comment #5 from Tom <t...@freedommail.ch> --- > If we remove the "select previous folder when going back" behavior, > people will complain about that, because it will interfere with their > ability to use keyboard navigation. My suggestion is to avoid selecting something, which would lead to the user being able to delete it. Instead you set the anchor to the directory you just left. Which solves the problem of keyboard navigation without the downside of giving the user enough rope to hang him/herself. To see what I mean with "set the anchor" you can follow the following steps: 1. open dolphin and select your Desktop icon, entering it. 2. Click on the word "Home" in the locator to go back up. 3. Select nothing by clicking between folders. Notice that at this point your folder you came from (Desktop) still has an underline. Keyboard navigation is kept in that way, pressing 'return' enters it, arrows move the active item (and select them) as expected. That would solve the core of the issue: * dolphin doesn't magically select items. * users don't lose any abilities, like keyboard navigation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
