I asked for a toggle that would allow the previous behavior to remain possible,
and the response I got instead suggested adding a new feature/button/command
for that old behavior. Your argument feels strange to me, because I just
upgraded to 25.08.2 to test it, and the UX wheel you’re talking about is still
inconsistent and wrong. I can copy or cut a file, select a folder, try to paste
and it won’t paste into the selected folder. I can press F10 > Create New >
Folder and it will create it in the current directory, not the selected one.
You know why? Because paste (just like create) has always been meant to work
for the CWD, not the selected folder. If anything, I'd say the behavior you
were expecting seems like a bug rather than a feature but I digress. I use my
keyboard and not my mouse, so even in Details view mode it's easy for me to
unselect whatever is selected by pressing Escape and making a new folder in CWD
with a shortcut, that isn't the argument I'm making however. Fact of the matter
is, this new fix hinders me from working at the speed which I'm used to. As I
mentioned earlier, I am for making this behavior optional or as Meven
suggested, making a new button entirely. I want to be able to create a folder
in the current directory, regardless of whether something is selected or not
using a keyboard shortcut.
