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

    This + some other quirks are what have kept me off KDE for a good while. I understand wanting to do things differently, possibly easier – but it’s hard to break old habits.

      So instead of changing to double click from the settings, you switched DEs?

          I’m sorry, but this to me, sounds insane and kind of lazy. You can’t go to the settings and make a couple of changes??? People really can’t do that?
