Checking about dolphin fixes and changes

[Todd]

I use dolphin quite a bit, so I want to try to make some improvements.
However, I think it is best to make sure the changes are acceptable before
implementing them.  Here is what I am planning so far:

1. General standardization of folder-like items (breadcrumb bar, places,
folders panel, etc).  This includes several things (of course in multiple
review request):
a. Make sure that everything that could be seen as a folder supports
middle-click to open in a new tab.
b. Outside the file view, support ctrl+click to open in a new tab (good for
touch pads that don't support middle click, or click at all).  Of course
this can't be used in the file view.
c. make sure that everything that could be seen as a folder supports
dropping
d. make sure that everything that could be seen as a folder respects the
"open folders during drag operations" setting

2. Currently you have to manually switch the location bar between edit and
breadcrumb modes.  My proposal is to have an option to automatically return
to the default mode when the bar loses focus.  The use case is for people
who almost always use one mode, but occasionally use another mode briefly.
Alternatively, restrict this only to breadcrumb mode (I personally rarely
use edit mode so I can't say if there is a use-case for automatically
returning to edit mode).
See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205153

3. Add an "expand all", "collapse all", "expand selected", and "collapse
selected" right-click items when in details view.

Are these all acceptable?  I think 1 is pretty straightforward, 2 and 3 I
could see arguments for them adding unnecessary complexity (although
personally I think they would be extremely useful).  Of course this is not
going to be one big submission, 2 and 3 will be on their own, and 1 will be
broken into individual changes for individual components.
