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

    I honestly forgot that single-click is the default behavior in Plasma. I set up new desktop environments so rarely, and this is such an infuriating default behavior that I change it immediately. Glad to hear this is changing.

      Main reason is Distros reverting that anyways. It was always doubleclick on Kubuntu and Fedora KDE afaik

      See… I’m the opposite… I change and hip around and reinstall across various machine so often, changing the setting has just become second nature… I don’t even think about it anymore! Hahahaha
