In Dolphin it works like this: 1. Select a file item 2. Go to edit mode (F2) 3. Press Home to set the cursor to the beginning 4. Press Shift+End to select the whole text In Folder View the keyboard shortcuts Shift+Home/End do not work as expected.
Git commit 5d719c1bb374914952eeedeb2b5a931881a9a1d0 by Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 26/03/2018 at 08:26. Pushed by broulik into branch 'Plasma/5.12'. [Folder View] Fix selecting text with Shift+Home/End By accepting the key event we also keep the TextArea from trying to move the cursor itself potentially undoing our selection in the process.
