		tempest_ on June 6, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Google no longer automatically indexes websites? Have we moved so far past the desktop that this knowledge is starting to be lost? I had to swap real quick to my desktop and see if I still had to double click an icon just to be sure. I mostly access things with the super key / search now and I guess people with phones would just tap an icon.

You can configure single clicking in Windows, or at least you once could.

You can but that means hovering over files for a second will select them (and clear your previous selection). Other systems (e.g. KDE) manage single click to open without that annoyance.
