It says "with out mouse" That should be "with our mouse" What distro are you using, and what version of Dolphin? Currently, I am using Kubuntu 24.04 Dolphin version = 23.08.05 I don't know how to install other Dolphin version but if you give me the EXE, I can try. Or, I can try other distros. Could you try a newer version from the Snap store or Flathub? Newer versions are not available. In general, it seems that if a certain version comes with Kubuntu, that version doesn't get updated until the next version of the OS. That's why I suggested to try a newer version from the Snap store or Flathub; those update independently from the version bundled with the system, which is generally stuck at the version the OS shipped with. I ran sudo snap install dolphin since that is what https://snapcraft.io/dolphin says but that downloaded 23.08.05 Flathub has 24.12.1 flatpak install flathub org.kde.dolphin For the flathub version, that same problem is present. I can reproduce the behavior. I'm not sure that it isn't intentional, though. You may also use the Arrow Keys to go the next item and Shift+Arrow to select multiple items. Isn't that the better approach? “You may also use the Arrow Keys to go the next item and Shift+Arrow to select multiple items. Isn't that the better approach?” ==No, because of the following situation that happens to me often: I use the Alphabetlcal, case sensitive sorting mode in Dolphin. It is a sorting mode that I like. What it does is that folders come first and they are alphabetically sorted (Names that start with numbers come first but I don’t care about that). Files come after and they are alphabetically sorted. So, if I have a large number of folders and files, with various names, let’s say I have a folder named “george” selected, and I want to jump to a file that starts with “a”, I press A on my keyboard, the selector jumps backwards and selects a folder that starts with “a” (Let’s call it a100) instead of going forward and selecting a file that starts with “a”. As soon as I move the selector by pressing an arrow key and I press A on my keyboard, the selector jumps backwards and selects the first folder that starts with “a” (a100). If I only use the arrow key as you suggested, I would have to pass through a thousand files, do a lot of scrolling to find the files that start with “a”. |
