Issue
Cannot paste files into empty folder using only the keyboard.

Steps to reproduce

1. set the view mode to "List View"
2. expand some subfolders and create any empty folder if there is none already empty
3. you should notice you can't expand it
4. use [Ctrl + C] or [Ctrl + X] to copy/move any file(s)
5. navigate to that empty folder
6. try to paste with [Ctrl + V]
7. files will be copied into the folder containing the empty folder, not inside the empty folder

Expected behaviour
The observed behaviour is exactly the expected one: if you use [Ctrl + V] while selecting a expanded folder then the files are copied inside, otherwise they're copied into the parent. The problem is that there's no way to expand empty folders, so you can't paste files inside with the keyboard.

A workaround is to enter said folder. But if you enter the folder and then go back you get all folders collapsed again and that really slows the job if you're trying to organize a lot of files. You can also drag and drop with the mouse, but it's tedious having to do that if you're working with the keyboard most of the time.

Other information
It is said that it's nice for empty folders not to have the expand arrow because that's a nice visual hint that the folder is empty, but the fact it cannot to be expanded prevents the user from selecting the inside of the folder and copying/moving files inside it.

As far as I know you could previuosly expand empty folders but this was a visual improvement made time ago. I just want a setting to disable that or the ability to expand empty folders even if the expand arrow is hidden, please.

EDIT
I just noticed was using the outdated version ubuntu provides by default and I just updated to 5.6.1 with ppa:trebelnik-stefina/cinnamon's repo, the problem is still there.
