Hi, I think you are missing three more easy ways of adding a folder to the places panel.
1. Drag and dropping a folder onto the places panel adds it.
2. Right-clicking a folder and pressing "Add to Places" in the context menu adds it.
3. When a folder is selected, in the hamburger menu the submenu for "Actions For "Folder"" also has an "Add to Places" action that adds it.
Add to that the way you described, and the other of enabling a menu bar and choosing the option from there, there are 5 different ways to add a folder to the places panel.
In my opinion, this seems good enough. My judgement is to mark this bug report as intentional, because making it even more obvious seems like an over-priortisation to me.
It does not seem necessary to me to add a shortcut either, but if you want to see this considered more carefully, please file another bug report just for adding a shortcut for that action.

Created attachment 175693 [details] how adding to places looks like SUMMARY Right now, the "Add to places" action is way too hidden. On defaults, you have to open up the hamburger menu, go to the More menu (which shows the menu bar items), go to File and then click "Add to Places" you can add it manually to the toolbar which is fine, but I think it should by default already be there and maybe have a keyboard shortcut, I think it's an action that is expected to be easily available by most users STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. try to add a location you're on to your favourite Places 2. (you do it as I described previously, hamburger -> more -> File -> Add to Places) OBSERVED RESULT well yes you add it just fine but it's too convoluted for an action that is probably very much expected to be common place EXPECTED RESULT should be more reachable by default SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20241107 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0 Qt Version: 6.8.0 Kernel Version: 6.11.6-2-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics Memory: 31.1 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION attaching screenshot I'm just giving my opinion but I think it makes sense, your call
