sallam Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 greetings how can i change the default from having to double click to only single click? [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 (edited) alt+F2 -> type kcontrol -> Peripherals -> Mouse -> General: tick Single click to open files and folders p.s. This topic is appropriate for the Software forum, not Installing Mandriva Edited July 30, 2005 by solarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Also this method advised by Solarian only applies when using KDE. In Gnome you have to do a bit of hunting. Maybe a Gnome user can come in here with the answer for Gnome. I have done it but cannot remember it since I rarely ever use it. Cheers. John.

I have done it but cannot remember it since I rarely ever use it. quite simple, john. in the menu-bar, click on system (or open the gnome control center) ? file-management. then go to the tab "behavior" and check the first box.

AussieJohn Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Thanks Arctic. I remember that routine now that you have outlined it. My question was mainly for others who might need the info and now thanks to you they have it. Cheers mate. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
