Keep selection on paste

[mdruiter]

If I "paste" a path, or just a filename, the current selection gets cleared. If the result is (in) the current directory, can the selection please stay?

OK, I'll bite. Could you clarify, cause I'm not sure what you're doing?

You've highlighted some files in a panel; files 1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt.

Then what?
You copy a file from the other panel, using Ctrl+C?
Then you paste it into the first panel, using Ctrl+V?

And the highlights clear?
(But that mustn't be it cause I don't see that occurring, so ...?)

Sorry for being unclear, I'll clarify. This is one way to reproduce what I mean:

• in a directory, on some file, press Alt+Shift+Insert to copy its name
• select some files in that directory
• press Ctrl+V to jump to the first file

Now I lost the selection. The same happens when jumping to the (current) path (say after Ctrl+Alt+Insert).
