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

    Use the terminal mostly anyway, but navigating deeply nested folders when you have to double click is slightly annoying so I can see the appeal.

      I don’t see why they can’t just have the folders behave differently.
      Just make opening folders single click & executing/opening everything else double click.

      Bash is superior, but if I’m going to use the UI I just use tree view in Dolphin so I can expand folders with a single-click while seeing the directory structure.
