Hello, I am quite sure that recently there was a change to the way dolphin reacts to key presses inside a directory.

Here's my workload and how it got broken:
Say I'm in /etc and I want to go to "fstab" file, sure I could type fstab to select it directly, or use filter function, but what if I don't know the correct file name. I could keep pressing "F" key until I get to the file I wanted to, but I want to skip folders, there used to be a trick in such case:
1. Scroll down past folders and select any file
2. Press first letter key until you get to the desired file
3. Seeking continues from where selection was made. !!!!!  That's the crucial part  !!!!

So recently it changed for some reason, instead of continuing from where the selection is it jumps back to the beginning, starting from folders. That obviously wastes my time, because I have to go through folders first, before going to files.
