[SOLVED] KDE, dolphin, "selecting" file with RMB in empty space?
(media.piefed.social)
i want to be able to delete a file without having to select it first with LMB. this is because i can only select it with RMB when i click on the file name, whereas i am able to select the file with LMB even in the empty space after the filename.
this may not look like an issue in this example but i have a lot of files that are only 3 characters long plus file extension so most of the line is empty space. furthermore i don't understand why the behavior is different in the first place.
is there a setting for this?
edit: dolphin v25.12.3
edit2: apparently this is fixed in a newer version
When I switched over from windows many years ago the single click to open was the default. I adapted to it very quickly and almost immediately preferred it.
At some point KDE decided to make double click to open the default because they thought users coming from windows would have a hard time learning single click. Personally I think that was a mistake, and urge you to give it a try.
