- 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.
Single click is for web page links, not my computer.
Way too easy to accidentally run a program with single click
not really, just set to “always ask” or when opening an executable.
Which is just another, less convenient way of turning a single click into two, no?
You’re not running executables from a file manager very often with Linux
… I am, though.
It should throw up a prompt to ask, if you really want to run it. You might have disabled that…
You mean… a prompt that needs a second click to run the program?
Yes, mine does that. Files open with one click, programs need confirmation.
