Finally. Single click to open a file/directory is the first feature that I disable on a fresh system.

Personally, I disable it first thing after installing and I think it's easier this way for those who come from Windows. Those who still prefer the single click, can easily enable it again. Not a big deal.

My parents found single-click behavior less confusing. It's how everything works on their phones and in web browsers.

Plasma 6 is really shaping up to be quite a nice overhaul of the system.

These are awesome changes. Thank goodness I have one less thing to change on any given install.

I recently switched to KDE and got sooo confused by this not being default. Good they're making the change, small but important.

How are you even supposed to select files and folders in single-click? The tiny little + box that's very easy to miss?

Guess enough Windows users are coming over and they're getting confused/frustrated by the old mouse click behavior.

I get why they're doing it, so it's not a big deal for me as long as I can still use single click to open folders.

That being said, double click always seemed like a weird "hack" to use what is essentially the main function of the left click, no? As in, the primary thing I want to do when left clicking something is to go to that thing. Go to that folder, go to that link and go to (open) that application. "Selecting" is not the main action I use so I've always felt weird when "selecting" gets what is essentially the main function of the mouse, the left click.

The minimum screen brightness is now always 1, and the minimum keyboard brightness is now always 0, ensuring that the screen backlight never turns off completely at minimum brightness, while the keyboard backlight always does

That's cool, but is it still possible to easily switch off the screen? For laptops, that's useful from time to time, when you don't want to close the lid and lock it, but you're waiting for a long running operation or just listening to music, and want to save battery power.
I think the best way would be that when long pressing the brightness lowering key, it stops lowering it at 1% as with this change, but pressing it once more would make it 0.

Also, I wasn't able to keep up with recent changes. Does anyone know if it's possible now to customize the rounded corners of windows and panels?
