Committed on 12/11/2025 at 14:54. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Revert "Avoid implicitly selecting items" This reverts commit 122fee5625f0285ec4ebda79162c72390989eb2a. This behavior change was well-intentioned, but has significant usability and speed drawbacks that have not been addressed: - Keyboard-driven folder manipulation became slower - Unexpected behavioral differences when opening files with the pointer compared to when opening them with the keyboard introduced inconsistency and cognitive load - Unexpected opening of selection mode during fast operation introduced the potential for confusion and additional errors - Dolphin's behavior became inconsistent with that of other file managers users may be accustomed to The bug tracker, discuss.kde.org, and Reddit are full of complaints about this change. It's been a year now; I think it's clear that many Dolphin users have not gotten used to and accepted it. I have to count myself as one of them, I'm afraid. I've tried to get used to it for a year, but I just have not been able to. I don't believe the benefits of this change outweigh the drawbacks, so let's revert it. 24d859cf19e90fa22ed687b36a68231625c1bd80 was explicitly mentioned as a thing that should also be reverted in this case, but it's already been done.
