Plasma 6 looks to be shaping up quite nicely already! Some really nice quality of life style updates, and I’m quite shocked (though the reasoning makes sense) to see them moving to double-click actions by default instead of single-click.

    Oh for sure! I remember for the longest time setting the action to double-click when I first started using KDE, because I’d go to try to select a folder to say drag it elsewhere, and I’d end up opening the folder (or opening a file - which would hurt with opening a large archive for example).

    Eventually I got used to it though, to the point where I’d be on GNOME or Windows and would get briefly confused when I’d single-click something, and nothing happened. Nowadays though I’m used to the “context switch” of “Oh, I’m in KDE - I need to single-click” and it happens automatically. I wonder how long it’ll take me to break that habit haha (I know it will still be toggle-able, but I’ll forget every time I setup a new install).
