  • KDE Plasma 6 will require users to double-click on files and folders to open them by default.

This is one of the first things I always tweak in KDE, so I love this change, but I’m curious how others feel.

    Q1: Select (see Q3) + F2

    Q2: Same way as double-click people. A file only opens if I click, not when I press the mouse button and drag the file around.

    Q3: I draw a small selection frame over it, or press the control key when clicking (I have the hand there any, especially if my next input will be Ctrl+C/X and Ctrl+V

    Q4: I just do. Sometimes I relax by playing shooters with the “invert mouse” option turned on :D

    I have never had a cell phone or smart phone in my life, single-click was the default when I switched to Linux, I gave it a try and I liked it.
