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 don’t know how requiring clocking twice instead of once is good

      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.
