  • 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.

I think it was windows 98 that introduced "hovering on an item" = single click and single click = double click. Disabled by default of course

Oh god, I'd forgotten the dark days of windows UI introduced with the active desktop update

It was introduced by "Active Desktop", which came with IE4. So if you installed IE4, you also got this on Windows 95.
