  There is no such option yet, as far as I know. Turns out as you used `arc` to 
upload your patch (good job!) instead of the web upload, it was already 
included and I would not have needed to askā€¦

use `PopupCompletion`, it means that most of the users out there have this 
setting configured. If there will be any type of announcement or changelog 
regarding this change, it may be useful to explicitly suggest to change to 
completion `None` in order to fully enjoy the new feature without the popup 
covering the tree.
  
  I see were you are coming from, but not sure this would work, would also be a 
bit weird to read. I remember some distro release notes advising on manual 
changes of high importance, but listing every little change would probably be 
too much. The closest would be someone with a blog aggregated on Planet KDE 
featuring this improvement (@ngraham you should totally start a blog, as I 
believe you have a quite good overview on what's happening each week in 
Phabricator land).
  
  Normally such changes can be automated with `kconf_update` 
<https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tools/Using_kconf_update>. Recently, I 
did something similar <https://phabricator.kde.org/D6697#change-9AZVObB5gztX> 
(with a perl detour 
<https://phabricator.kde.org/D6697?id=16688#change-2UOSq8zftmFL>). Instead of 
copying you would have to set a new value explicitly and touch more than one 
file (e.g. `dolphinrc` and everywhere else the dialog is used). You can try 
this direction, but we could also just wait and see what further changes are 
possible for the dialog.

  As I wrote above, this would mean two things (I believe both should still be 
supported, in one form or another at least):
  
  - An important use case is to enter a custom path. Having a recent history of 
those paths to avoid typing/selecting them over and over again is useful. The 
history can still be accessed via the arrow on the right, but the completion 
would be gone.
  - There would be no way anymore to autocomplete or discover anything 
contained in your `$PATH` (e.g. your own/custom scripts), safe for typing it 
out in full.
