- 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.
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
Control + Left click
If you have a list, click on the item to open, click next to it to select.
