  • KDE Plasma 6 will require users to double-click on files and folders to open them by default.

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

    Hover for 1 file selection, Ctrl+hover or Ctrl+click (better) for multiple files, or simply drag a box around items to select

    That’s the windows behavior

    However on kde, hover to select probably doesnt exist, and I use Ctrl+click anyway since hover to select wastes time
