No, I did understand the behaviour change you are reporting. That change was
intentional because we currently do not have any feedback e.g. when users are
moving files to the trash which means they might delete files accidentally by
pressing the Delete key. I made accidental deletion of files less likely by not
implicitly selecting files during frequent actions like opening files.
Similarly, it seems easier if only actual selection of files leads to selected
files and not any type of interaction with a file.

My last comment was to make you aware of plans which should at least alleviate
the issue you mentioned in the second paragraph of your initial report about
not being able to identify the file one has last interacted with.
