KDE Goes and Does It (Double-Click By Default, That Is) - OMG! Linux

  • 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.

Ok but when do we get to change the drag and drop behavior so it just moves the folder instead of opening a menu

Please do not change that, I love being able to copy via drag and drop instead of just moving because this way, my clipboard is not polluted unnecessarily

Zangoose ,

I’m fine with a menu being there, just give me the option to make it go away by selecting a default or something.

That single problem makes dolphin unusable for me because there isn’t a basic setting to make it behave like basically every other graphical file manager on any operating system.

(Edited grammar for clarity)

Double click to open files/folders Single click to highlight file/folders Hover to focus on window

Perfection

No one wins no matter what they choose. Those of us who have switched over to single click either now need to adapt or make the tweak.

I guess this a good default for bringing over Windows converts

Unless they’re overwriting our settings to defaults we really don’t need to do anything. This is for new installs.

Kusimulkku ,

I really like single click but since this is just about the new default then I don’t really care
