The old expected behaviour was that pressing Space would select
the current item. We now trigger selection mode instead and don't
select. At some point in the future we might want to instead have
Space trigger a "QuickLook" feature for quick viewing of full
files. In any case, the old behaviour of having Space select is
no longer expected, but Ctrl+Space can still be used for this.
It might also make sense to have Space trigger the old selection
behaviour if both selection mode and "QuickLook" are disabled, but
that is very low priority and will cause more code complexity than
the non-default benefits are worth.
Before this commit, the "Space" keyboard shortcut was bound to
triggering selection mode by default. After this commit, pressing
"Space" will only trigger selection mode when the file view area
has keyboard focus.
Pros:
+ Other buttons in the UI can be triggered with Space once again
just like it is expected from an accessibility point of view.
+ "Type-ahead" searching works once more when typing the space
char for file names containing such a space char.
Cons:
- "Space" can no longer be used to add the currently underlined
item to the selection. Instead "Ctrl+Space" needs to be used.
(However, this is the current status anyway unless a user has
manually unbound "Space" as a shortcut from Selection Mode.)
- The Selection Mode action will no longer show "Space" as its
shortcut in menus.
Overall, I see solutions to all of these problems, but they seem
over-engineered for the issues they are trying to solve, so I
believe this somewhat small commit is the best solution for now.

Symlink contents should not be visited for the purpose of displaying sizes.
Not only is potentially misleading because the storage is actually used
elsewhere (the target location), it can be completely wrong as contents can
be visited multiple times, even recursively.

(cherry picked from commit 491068a440)
The `break` that is replaced by a `return` here would only break
out of the innermost while loop so the std::vector::end could still
become accessed after that. By returning here we completely exit
out of both nested loops and therefore don't access the
std::vector::end.
When one instance of Dolphin activates another it passes a startupId (X11) / activation token (wayland) along.
On X11 this is passed using the DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID environment variable. The code tries to read that through KStartupInfo::startupId().
That doesn't work though, since Qt at startup reads the environment variable afterwards. However, it is nice enough to allow us to access
it through QX11Info::nextStartupId(). Use that to read the token in the first instance and pass it to the second instance like we do on Wayland
The user-facing impact of this is minimal since KStartupInfo::setNewStartupId internally falls back to KWindowSystem::forceActiveWindow when no
startupId is passed.
While building dolphin, a warning comes up about KStandardGuiItem::yes()
being deprecated, and that another action verb should be using instead.
This commit fixes the warning by replacing KStandardGuiItem::yes() with
a KGuiItem constructor in the file src/views/dolphinview.cpp.
The icon for the "Rename and Hide" button has also been changed from a
check mark (dialog-ok) to an eye with a cross (view-hidden) to make the
button look more unique and grab the attention of the user.
When the current view mode is different from the view mode for
which settings were changed in Dolphin's settings dialog, those
changes were sometimes not present when then changing the view
mode of a view to the view mode for which settings were changed.
This commit fixes this by always loading the settings for all view
modes in the DolphinItemListView even if the view is currently
using only one of those view modes.
This commit changes how the setting to switch between full row
highlight and the old way of only having the icons and names be
activatable in details mode is presented on the settings page.
Before this commit a singular checkbox is used that talks about
the highlight effect.
But the highlight effect isn't actually what users should be
interested in. They mostly care how much of the area can be used to
activate an item. To make this clear this commit uses radio buttons
instead that give a distinctive choice between activation areas.
When not using the full row highlight, the text of non-name columns
in details view mode was wrongly colored in a way that pretended
that the full row selection highlight was active.
When it isn't active we use the normal color that we generally use
when the additional information is not within the selection
highlight.
In d383961719 the details view mode
was changed in a way that made the full row of an item the click
target instead of only having the item's icon and text be the
representative clickable area of an item.
This commit makes this new behaviour optional through a setting
which can be changed in Dolphin's settings dialog.
The explanation for introducing yet another setting in this case is
as follows:
While the introduced change is an improvement for many typical
workflows, there are some workflows for which this new behaviour
is problematic. Quite prominently a usage of Dolphin that tries
to maximise information density is made worse by the change because
now side padding is necessary to click the view's background. While
the side padding is and was optional, disabling it made switching
the active view in split view mode more difficult among other
things. For a more complete discussion about the issues, please
check out the bug report(s) and the discussion in Dolphin's gitlab
issue with number 34.

This one liner changes the signal that is emitted when the
"Dismiss" button is pressed on the Paste bottom bar in selection
mode. Before this commit, the `leaveSelectionModeRequested()`
signal was used but it had no effect because technically the
selection mode isn't active anymore when the paste bar is shown.
Everything works as expected if instead
`barVisibilityChangeRequested()` is emitted.
