Description Frank Reininghaus 2012-04-24 13:01:46 UTC

When I started using Dolphin 2.0 at work, I noticed that Esc does not clear the selection any more. Clearing the selection was useful for me in the following use case:

1. Press Esc to clear the selection.
2. Press the context menu key to open the context menu for the current directory (the one I get by right-clicking the empty space of the view), e.g., to create a new file.

This cannot be done any more easily without using the mouse.

I'll post a patch to ReviewBoard in a minute.

Reproducible: Always

When Esc is pressed, clear the selection and cancel the keyboard search

This patch restores the Dolphin 1.x behaviour that Esc clears the
selection (Dolphin 2.0 did not have an easy way to clear the selection
using the keyboard so far). Moreover, Esc now also cancels the current
keyboard search. This fixes the problem that the only way to cancel the
search is to wait until the timeout has expired.
