It's convenient to unselect file/folder by pressing 'Esc'.
In KDE 4.8.2, Dolphin/Konqueror use 'Esc' for 'Stop' loading (as before) but not for unselect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select some files/folders
2. Press 'Esc' key
Actual Results:  
Nothing changes

Expected Results:  
These selected files/folders are unselected

@Peter: I saw that you confirmed this bug, but I think this should actually be fixed since KDE 4.8.3:

If you can reproduce this with KDE >= 4.8.3 (I can't), there must still be something wrong. Could you describe how you can reproduce this bug?

Frank, you are of course right and this is fixed in 4.8.3. Strange: I'm sure I started Dolphin 4.8.3 to verify this issue - probably I messed something up and I've lost the keyboard focus, I don't know ;-)
