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.

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.

Um, I just switched from gnome to plasma about three or four months ago. I don’t keep anything at all in my desktop I didn’t realize that it was single click.

It would apply to files and folders in Dolphin (file explorer) as well.

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

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW. In the the next issue of Linux Magazine Torvalds talks about the new default in the single click behavior of Plasma: “KDE, fuck you”

It would be a much longer insult of course

Both plasma and gnome will get zero clicks from me. They are the two black holes sucking free open source software into their m{ac,s}-win core.

What DE do you use?

@yianiris@kafeneio.social avatar

DE require tremendous overhead of serv/daemons just to be able to make shortcuts/menu items clickable, I would never use such contraptions on my system.

I use a wm and have no use for polkit, dbus, logind, automount, obfuscated rights elevations and demotions, .... all this crap that unnecessarily must run for the sake of aesthetics and MS-win utility.

If I needed icons on my background I would use just a light filemanager, like pcmanfm, but I don't.

Emacs obviously.
