Running Dolphin 16.08.3

I have a folder with multiple (hundreds) subfolders.

When I open a subfolder and move up (Using Alt-Up arrow or Alt-Left arrow) shortcuts, I return to the parent folder BUT the focus is NOT on the folder I had opened earlier.

So, I will have to manually go back to that folder again.

Is there a way to automate this? I open folder150. When I go back or up, folder150 is selected.

FWIW, Gnome Files does this as I am describing it.

When I use Backspace, Alt+Left or the back arrow button in Dolphin the folder i was in is underlined.

No. It is not, in my case, at least.

In my case, the first folder is underlined. That too, underlined. Not selected.

May be, we are using different versions. Or may be we are talking about different behaviours.

Underlined item will be opened/executed when the 'Return' key is pressed.

My bad.

It does exactly as you have mentioned. I guess I was confusing things between going up and going back.
