--- Comment #4 from Felix Ernst <felixernst at kde.org> ---
>- missing highlighting where the active input is
>- if the filelist-panel is active (barly noticeable by the color change in the surrounding box)
>- then, no file is selected by default (another indicator necessary to 'see' where we are).
>Using the cursor keys will select a file (blue background) and will stay highlighted 
>- zoom activation (with shift-tab's) is also nearly impossible to see, just the single pixel line around the zoom-knob changes

I agree that these aren't always all that obvious.

>- just pressing tab-key does not go 'forward', you remain in the left places selection. Shift-tab works, by the way

I think I fixed this one with
https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/commit/a4efbfbfa69f04ed21fe703a11bb59416ef8a821.

>- how do i access the back/forward or icons-view buttons?

I fixed this with
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kxmlgui/-/commit/cf0a2f7c6ca8e426da37abd6a09186c74a88b73f.

>1. Start Dolphin, at this stage, pressing Tab navigates between the two panes I have in the middle (I have the view split)

At least this part is most likely caused by the off-by-default "Switch between
panes with Tab" setting.

>2. Press Shift Tab repeatedly. Notice other elements in the window get focus in turn, but the Folders panel never gets focus.

This seems to work on my end with current master.
