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

    Kinda disappointed actually. It’s in my top ten best features if KDE. Single click is so much faster and easier. No other OS has gotten this right.

    As long as they dont take it away. But since most people now won’t know it’s there they are unlikely to find out just how great it is.

        Windows had it for ages

        Windows single click never worked right. I don’t use the little check box or selection. I use both Windows and Linux, and windows stays in Double click even though I have been doing single on KDE since as long as I can remember.

      It’s great except when there’s no “white space” to easily do a drag select. Or I’m just an idiot and do it wrong.
