  Target Milestone: ---

Dear Dolphin developers,
I would like to propose a modification to the behavior of the "Close Current
View" button when using the split view mode in Dolphin. Currently, when the
view is split, the "Split View" button is replaced by "Close Current View,"
which closes the currently selected view. My proposal is to change the
functionality of this button so that it closes the non-currently selected view
instead of the active one. This change could improve user efficiency in
scenarios where one wants to maintain the current view and close the secondary
one. 
Specific request details:
    In split view mode, the "Close Current View" button should close the
non-selected view.
    If possible, add an option in the settings to choose between the current
behavior and the proposed one.

This modification could be particularly useful for users who frequently work
with multiple views and want a quick way to close secondary views without
losing focus on the main view. Thank you for your attention and for considering
this improvement proposal for Dolphin. 
Best regards, Diego
