- 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?
Snark aside, this is probably a more common solution than using Ctrl-click or clicking the tiny “+” icon as was intended.
Drag a selection box around it, or use ctrl. Or right click.
Control + Left click
There’s a symbol at the top left of the file or directory icon to select the item rather than open. It’s stays there even if you have double click to open
If you have a list, click on the item to open, click next to it to select.
