When using the built in terminal, there is no easy way to move back to the folder view. Right now I have to hit Shift and Tab 9 times.

What about making the folder view as the next widget in the focus chain? That would mean: Shit + Tab, only once. No need for a new shortcut.

Would that also work from the filter bar (which is my most common case for this)?

Here are 20 votes buddy, this disrupts my workflow as well. 

This is a recurring problem for me in other programs like kate, as kde programs are built in this modular way, with parts/widgets.

So I think that the best solution, instead of patching case by case, is to make the parts of a program focus bindable to shorcuts.

Next step would be to make the order configurable, but maybe this is much more ambitius.

I'd also love to see such a shortcut be implemented.

For now, what's also a workaround is toggling the Dolphin terminal twice.

Just adding shortcuts to fold/unfold the current block would be very helpful - the currently available shortcuts are just fold/unfold "all top level nodes", which for the life of me I can't understand why that would be useful: a lot of things have just one top level entity - XML documents, C++ or Java classes, JSON files, Ruby, Python or Perl modules, etc.

I would have really preferred if these shortcut would just work on the current block, and if I want to fold *everything* I can just CTRL+HOME to the top of the document and <fold> the entire document.

Ahhh... oops - this comment was supposed to go on another bug report. Please ignore.

+1 for having shortcuts to focus on specific parts of Dolphin. I have to Shift + Tab 5 times to get from the terminal to the folder view.
