You are not the authority on what constitutes trolling. The same arguments have
been made repeatedly by different people, not because they are trolls, but
because the concerns are reasonable. Dismissing them as trolling simply avoids
engaging with the substance of what is being said.
Throughout this thread, you have focused largely on semantic distinctions, such
as CWD versus PWD. While those terms are technically different, that
distinction is not central to the issue being discussed. In practical
conversation, both can be used interchangeably when the meaning is clear from
context.

The people you keep labeling as trolls have raised legitimate concerns that
should be addressed by the developers. Instead, you have dominated the thread
while positioning yourself as the gatekeeper of what counts as valid feedback.
> Is all I've discussed.
You claim to have only engaged in relevant discussion, yet you also admit to
antagonizing so called trolls. That behavior does not contribute constructively
to resolving the issue.

If uniformity is the goal, then a consistent approach would be to extend the
behavior currently present in Details View to the other views as well. That
idea, much like universal uniformity is stupid. Mouse driven workflows and
keyboard driven workflows are fundamentally different, and treating them as
identical ignores how people actually use their systems.
For example, (AFAIK default behavior) double clicking the background selects
all items. That does not mean pressing Enter twice should trigger the same
behavior. If multiple folders are selected, should Ctrl+Shift+N create a new
folder inside each of them?
The previous behavior was intuitive for users. If you have the ability to read,
maybe read that "Development Philosophy" that was posted earlier in the thread
and try to understand if it's valuable or if it should be removed or changed
because you want it to be.

Oh the savior of KDE bug tracker whose many comments were tagged as spam. I
guess one of the KDE people must be a troll who has it out for you.

You have repeatedly misrepresented my position. I have never argued that
Dolphin should behave like any other file manager, nor have I said it should
mimic them. I do not care how other file managers behave. Please refrain from
attributing positions to me that I have not expressed.

By your own argument, comparing Dolphin to other file managers is irrelevant.
So suggesting that I should test multiple distributions for inspiration
contradicts your earlier point.

I have already explained my position earlier in the thread, when the behavior
first changed. Repeating it here would serve no purpose. I have also proposed a
solution before you joined this discussion. If you missed it, that is not my
responsibility.
Throughout this entire discussion, your posts have been filled with
misspellings (blame your gimped hands!), repeated misunderstandings, rambling
tangents, and arguments that either miss the point entirely or deliberately
misrepresent what others have said. I'll go with the metric that you've set for
others and say you are either an obvious troll or along with your physical
disability, you also have a mental one.
