I am not familiar with this but shouldn't the "deselect" option be directly above the "invert selection" option or does it have no effect on the order ?
Sorry but this patch could break the workflow of those who use invert_selection. When we want to change a shortcut that's been there since forever, we need very good reasons and I'm afraid the deselect action is not enough:
This is not always possible. For example, if you're using the details view mode and there is not empty space to click (when the scrollbar is active).
I actually didn't know this.
What about adding the deselect action to the menu and disabling its default keyboard shortcut which conflicts with the shortcut for invert selection?
The deselect action will be available in the menu without being assigned a keyboard shortcut which will be useful for mouse users. Keyboard users are already able to use Esc.
Can you show a screenshot of a detail view affected by such problem?

Hmm, I don't know, normal actions should always have a shortcut.
I just realised that you have to click exactly on the file/folder label to get it selected and clicking anywhere else deselects everything. I thought clicking on the row would select the file/folder but it doesn't. My bad.
