Seems too niche to do IMO. We should fix the tab ordering issue first and see if that's good enough. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > We should fix the tab ordering issue first Is that some particular issue in particular you have in mind? One could highlight better what element is in focus right now, but the fact that you need to cycle through several elements to get to places and then to several elements back to the area where files and folders are displayed is inherent. I do not see a rationale why places should be the element that is one tab away from there instead of something else. I think the default ordering of where tab should go is spatial, no? I guess I should have added a use case. The use case it to access a place in places quickly using keyboard. Another option to achieve that would be to have the places accessible in menu, so one could hit ALT (when using the HUD) and type their name. However, given terminal has its own focus shortcut, it does not seem consistent to me not to have one (at least optionally) for other panels. Maybe another alternative would be bookmarks, but as far as I can see, they cannot be displayed visually in the places panel (and altogether seem puzzling to me:-)). Hi, There are tons of shortcuts for dolphins, but none to focus back and forth between places and files which I do think a lot of users would benefit https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/469326/keyboard-shortcut-to-focus-the-file-list-in-dolphin https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/u1wrek/can_you_create_shortcuts_for_files_and_folders_in/ |
