Please read comment 4 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463048#c4 above.
This is intentional.

>Please add an option to FULLY disable Selection Mode.

Your reasoning doesn't make sense. This is a fully optional feature. Nobody
forces you to use it (unless you are on a touch device where this solves a use
case that wasn't really solved previously).

Yes, the "Space" key doesn't select the current file anymore. Ctrl+Space can be
used instead. The Space shortcut to select the current file has always been
mostly useless anyway because it is only ever useful to select the very first
pre-selected file in a folder. For every other file, using the arrow keys to
navigate already auto-selects the next file.

Don't make it sound like any of this breaks any essential functionality. You
are most definitely misjudging the amount of disruption this brings.

You are also wrong about putting "improvements" in quotes like that because
this was most an improvement for a couple of use cases that many people agreed
on needing improvement. You would know that if you looked at the feedback we
got from this change. I know that you aren't easily persuaded, but I hope you
can try to see the other side in this case.
