           Summary: Make "Create new Folder" via shortcut configurable
                    with regards to selected

SUMMARY
Recently i had upgraded to dolphin 25.08.1 and noticed weird new behavior where
a newly created folder didnt show up, turns out it was created in the selected
folder (which did not happen in 25.04.X).
After a bisection it came out that
https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/commit/65bb95f50ed591c8e5c7b07b9ef6072dfcecf89e
was the issue and had https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508196, where it
turned out to be fully intentional.

As i dont like the new behavior and some others seemingly also dont like it (or
at least find it confusing to be now happening), could it be made into a
option?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open dolphin
2. Create a new folder
3. Select that new folder
4. press CTRL+SHIFT+N (or whatever configured shortcut) to create a new folder
5. observe the dialog including the newly created folder in its path
6. create the folder
7. observe it actually being created in the selected folder

OBSERVED RESULT
If a folder is selected and the "create new folder" shortcut is pressed, the
new folder is created *inside* the selected folder

EXPECTED RESULT
To be created in the current location (as shown in the address-bar)

This is especially annoying as my workflow is moving around with the arrow keys
and/or renaming files&folders, which keeps the selected, now requiring a extra
ESC to de-select it.
