            Bug ID: 422912
           Summary: Be able to give focus to the main view after going to
                    Location bar with Ctrl+L
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 19.12.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: bars: location
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

I happen to find myself navigating through files with keys and then I would
like to copy the current directory location to use it elsewhere. For this task
I press Ctrl+L to focus the location bar and use Ctrl+C to copy the location
string.
Later, I would like to continue navigating through the files. Currently, I see
no easy way to go back to the main view using the keyboard.

WORKAROUND: use the mouse to focus the main view.

What I would expect:
- Press Esc goes from location bar edit mode to breadcrumb mode.
- Press Esc again goes from breadcrumb mode to main view focus.

Alternatively:
- Currently, Ctrl+L cycles between location bar edit mode and breadcrumb mode.
Maybe, the 'main view focus' could be part of this cycle.
