- KDE Plasma 6 will require users to double-click on files and folders to open them by default.
- This change is controversial for those familiar with single-click behavior in KDE Plasma.
- Click behavior in KDE Plasma 6 is configurable, allowing users to choose between single-click and double-click.
This is one of the first things I always tweak in KDE, so I love this change, but I’m curious how others feel.
For all those single-click fans:
Saying “well kids use web stuff and Android and dont know what a single click is” is basically neglecting the use of a mouse. I love at least 3 buttons, hovering and fast clicks.
I don’t use KDE but I suppose the click is detected on button release, not during the press. It should adress all these questions.
The click is detected immediately, see @Jomosoto@discuss.tchncs.de’s comment.
This is the only way that makes sense.
I prefer single click, but I agree that there are situations where double click is more convenient
That sounds way worse than double click haha. I have set F2 to Volume (the rest is the normal F keys)
Single click is so much better. Vastly superior.
How do I live? Without carpal tunnel.
Same, but I use double click. Send like single click is a lot of mouse dragging.
Nope, not really. If you have a list of files you single click on the name, not the icon. That selects it. No dragging.
Okay okay I give it a try
Select: click on the + sign.
F2
Click and hold
Many ways, usually I just drag a box around the files. If there’s many in different places, ctrl + click
More convenient without having to double click everything lol
