--- Comment #3 from Felix Ernst <felixer...@kde.org> --- I am against this because we have no reason to assume that this would be an improvement. On the contrary, we have to assume that most users will be happy about having the space key trigger a mac-like QuickLook feature instead (which is also triggered with Space on Mac AFAIK). Until that feature is implemented, the Space key can be used to instead toggle the selection mode. There is also no reason to assume that many users are annoyed by keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+C or Ctrl+X triggering the selection mode, because this used to have no effect when no item is selected, which is equally if not more confusing than showing a bar that asks them what items they were trying to act on. Now to the reddit polls. Even if we ignore that reddit isn't representative of our user base at all and might vote against their best interest: >https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/10tm5jz/do_you_use_selection_mode_in_dolphin/ A poll showing that 2/3 aren't using selection mode is useless because the feature hasn't arrived at the majority of our user base yet. It is also a new and completely optional feature so there is no reason to assume users that will use it eventually have already started using. >https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/10tovgu/spacebar_behavior_in_dolphin/ This poll is useless because it claims that the Space key used to toggle the selection, but that never was the case. It only ever selected the current item. >I'm sure you would never go for that. I would also consider marking Popov's bug reports as "WORKS FOR ME" because of passive aggressive comments like this or in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463048. I also didn't see him getting persuaded by anything yet which makes me think that he will keep arguing in favour of whatever he is proposing no matter if it is factually in the best interest of our users/software or not. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
