SUMMARY
Pressing the "Del" key multiple times does not move multiple files to trash.
I use Fedora KDE, so I jumped straight from 25.08 to 25.12, so I don't know when the bug appeared but I know that it's still here thanks to the nightly flatpaks (26.03).
In 25.08 when I pressed Del 5 times, it would move 5 files to trash, it was super convenient (especially as a student for which the teachers send a lot of temporary files). Since updating to 25.12, the second "Del" key press does not move the second file to trash but enters selection mode.
I understand there has been recent discussion both about file deletion and this change on the forum, this isn't about Shift+Del behaviour or deleting files (I have tried to make my wording clear, my apologies if it isn't). I also understand that the recent rise in Linux users calls for a need to protect them from mistakes.
But this isn't about file deletion, this is about moving files to trash, so I believe this to be a bug, as the discussion was about file deletion and this report is about moving to trash. I would love to see this fixed, either directly or by giving us the option in dolphin.
Also, and I think this might be related, searching in dolphin settings does not jump to the second search result when pressing enter a second time (and so forth).
Thank you for the amazing software!

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a folder containing more than 1 file
2. Press Del
3. File gets moved to trash
4. Press Del a second time

OBSERVED RESULT
Selection mode opens

EXPECTED RESULT
Second file gets moved to trash
