This is one of the first things I always tweak in KDE, so I love this change, but I’m curious how others feel.

    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.
