Finally. Single click to open a file/directory is the first feature that I disable on a fresh system.
Why though? It should increase the life expectancy of your mice and touchpads because it results in fewer clicks and the mechanical parts thereby don’t wear out so much.
The number of times I’ve accidentally opened files I didn’t want to with single click is obscene.
Personally, I disable it first thing after installing and I think it’s easier this way for those who come from Windows. Those who still prefer the single click, can easily enable it again. Not a big deal.
My parents found single-click behavior less confusing. It’s how everything works on their phones and in web browsers.
Yeah. I also found it massively helpful to tell grandparents to just click on things. Instead of 3 times a day teaching them about the differences between everything and if they want a single left click, a double-click or a right click. And that a double right-click wouldn’t do anything useful at all.
Fun times :-D
Plasma 6 is really shaping up to be quite a nice overhaul of the system.
These are awesome changes. Thank goodness I have one less thing to change on any given install.
