- 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.
Yes, mine does that. Files open with one click, programs need confirmation.
That seems more like and accessibility feature, like what someone with a muscle spasm disorder would find helpful.
I mean, yeah, muscle spasm disorder or my dumb ass absent-mindedly opening files in my download folder or Jester from HR, who doesn’t know that a job application shouldn’t have the executable icon. For all us, it improves accessibility, because we don’t need to be as cautious anymore.
Ransomware in Windows:
You need to allow macros to read this job application
Ransomware in Linux:
You need to run chmod +x application.ods.sh to read this job application
that reminds me of the albanian virus
It cuts in half the average number of clicks when navigating the file manager. Accessibility or not, it’s a welcome change imo.
I think you’re not following along here. One click was the default, they’re changing it from that to two clicks by default.
I’m not referring to the default - (manually) changing it to a single click is a good thing.
