  • 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.

As someone who hasn't touched KDE in years, can someone fill me in: How did you previously select a folder without opening it?

  1. click it
  2. as it instantly opens you realise you didn't change that setting yet and go change it

Snark aside, this is probably a more common solution than using Ctrl-click or clicking the tiny "+" icon as was intended.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
