No Bug but an idea for Dolphin.
(This is the bug-center but where is the ideas-center???)

Very often it is necessary to jump between different folders. So you must climb the whole folder tree up and down. There is a way to open more than one folder, but after it, you must close it. Sometimes you forget it...

But here is an easier solution: The LA-Button!
LA stands for: last action.

If you press the LA button with the mouse the navigator jumps just to the folder where the last action happened (marking, copying, deleting ...) and not to the transit folders

This is faster :-)

Thanks for reporting your wish. One place where you can also post your ideas for KDE software are the brainstorm forums (https://forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f=83&sid=534d7156f784442f2df67f98f04203e9). Thanks for choosing KDE!

Not sure this is actually necessary. Dolphin has many existing ways to accomplish the ultimate goal of quickly switching between two folders:
- Open both folders in Dolphin's Split View
- Open both folders in tabs
- Temporarily drag one or both folders to the Places Panel and access them from there

I don't think the proposed feature would be any faster than any of the above, and wouldn't be as generically useful as any of them. Thanks for the idea though!
