            Bug ID: 466420
           Summary: Add ability to delete devices from Dolphin faster
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 22.12.2
          Platform: Neon
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED

screen recording of steps to reproduce and observed result

SUMMARY
There is a bug – https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466416 – that causes too
many entries being added to the Dolphin's panel "Places". If that bug is ever
fixed, it would be nice to get rid of the wrong entries. It would be a good
addition to the wonderful UI of Dolphin if it could allow its users to delete
these incorrect entries in some _fast_ way.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin on a computer affected by
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466416
2. Try selecting multiple devices at once.
3. Try removing a device using the Delete key
4. Remove a device using the context menu

OBSERVED RESULT
For step 2 — there is no way to select multiple devices at once.
For step 3 — the "Selection mode" turns on 
For step 4 — Dolphin freezes. I don't actually know if a device gets removed or
not — I don't know how to count them in an easy way. On the screen recording
I'm trying to 1) resize the window - it doesn't work, 2) click on the "Cancel"
button (it doesn't work) and 3) click on the close application button in the
top right (it doesn't work).

EXPECTED RESULT
- There is a way to select multiple devices at once, similar to how it is
possible to select multiple folders or files in the main panel of Dolphin
- There is some kind of shortcut to delete devices while navigating the panel
"Places" via keyboard, without having to open the context menu
- Dolphin doesn't freeze
