Feature changed by: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) Feature #310979, revision 5 Title: Set the default mouse behaviour of KDE 4.x to double click to open files / folde openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Adam N (a-d4m) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Set the default mouse behaviour of KDE 4.x to double click to open files / folders. Current default is single-click to open files / folders Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Many new users migrating from other operating systems are more comfortable with a double-click behaviour. Gnome users are more comfortable with double-click. Accidentally hitting the mouse button will not resort in any action. In absence of statistics, I believe most users change the single-click behaviour to double-click. I prefer double-click Discussion: #1: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) (2010-12-13 18:56:51) "In absence of statistics" a believe is not enough. For my part I prefer the default behavior (single click to select --green plus sign-- and single click to open) and simply cannot tolerate the old school double click when need to use windows or gnome based systems. On kde 3. x I used to use double click, but when started using kde4 it took me less than a minute to get used to the new system. + #2: Peter Gumbrell (gumb) (2010-12-14 08:37:41) + Repetitive double-clicking was one of the primary causes of RSI + symptoms I developed years ago. I see KDE4's single-click + implementation as well thought out and more of an accessibility boost + (though I don't know technically the possible drawbacks for some + users). There are still some points on my system (GNOME progs mainly) + where I have to double-click and it feels so alien and a step back to + the dark ages. I'd rather have a default that looks to a more + sophisticated future than one which caters for users familiar with an + inferior concept. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310979
