Double Click Setting on Dolphin


Dolphin is a file manager for KDE focusing on usability. It was a great file manager with many features inside. By default, Dolphin is using Single Click to view and opening a file or folder.

If we use KDE desktop, we can simply change the setting by using the menu, like this screenshot :
  • Here comes dolphin screenshot :


  • Choose Settings -> Configure Dolphin


  • On Navigation menu, choose click setting you want :

The problem is appear when we use dolphin on Gnome desktop. On Dolphin Preferences, there is no Navigation menu. We can change the click setting manually on KDE file setting.
sonic2epix@sonic2epix:~$ gedit ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals
Find the [KDE] section, then change the SingleClick variable with false.
...
[KDE]
AutoSelectDelay=-1
DoubleClickInterval=400
ShowDeleteCommand=true
SingleClick=false          # change this setting
StartDragDist=4
StartDragTime=300
WheelScrollLines=3
...
