• 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.

    I’m actually kinda suspicious any Linux user would actually want a single click default.

        Avoids misclicks from opening stuff by mistake just for that alone is worth it to me.

            I meant misclicks like clicking by mistake, like you clicked the item while trying to click something else or simply clicking by mistake the physical button of the mouse… Maybe uncommon… true but when it happens that a folder or full app opens is annoying.
