i want to be able to delete a file without having to select it first with LMB. this is because i can only select it with RMB when i click on the file name, whereas i am able to select the file with LMB even in the empty space after the filename.

this may not look like an issue in this example but i have a lot of files that are only 3 characters long plus file extension so most of the line is empty space. furthermore i don’t understand why the behavior is different in the first place.

is there a setting for this?

edit: dolphin v25.12.3

    thanks, i am on v25.12.3 but no update in discover (distro = kubuntu). so maybe it’ll be fixed at some point in the future for me…

      Well just FYI, you could enable the Kubuntu backports to move to the latest version of KDE and it’s software?

      EDIT: Nm, looks like the version in the backports is from 2025
