    Finally. Single click to open a file/directory is the first feature that I disable on a fresh system.

    Personally, I disable it first thing after installing and I think it's easier this way for those who come from Windows. Those who still prefer the single click, can easily enable it again. Not a big deal.

    How are you even supposed to select files and folders in single-click? The tiny little + box that's very easy to miss?

      Even on windows I mostly do ctrl + left click. If I'm selecting files I'm most likely going to copy/cut/paste them, so I'm most likely going to have my other hand on the keyboard anyway

    I get why they're doing it, so it's not a big deal for me as long as I can still use single click to open folders.

    That being said, double click always seemed like a weird "hack" to use what is essentially the main function of the left click, no? As in, the primary thing I want to do when left clicking something is to go to that thing. Go to that folder, go to that link and go to (open) that application. "Selecting" is not the main action I use so I've always felt weird when "selecting" gets what is essentially the main function of the mouse, the left click.

    Btw, for those who think it's natural to select things by left clicking on them, try pressing space in dolphin to activate the "selection mode".

    I'm a Gnome user where double click is default, but this is a really terrible decision. It shouldn't be default in Gnome either. Who cares how it is in Windows, Windows is bad.
