I am now moving to Gnome from KDE. In KDE I have configured
single-click mode, in this mode there is no concept of a double click.
I see that Nautilus can be configured for single click, but what about
other apps? For instance Evolution still needs a double click to open
contacts.

Could this be considered a usability or accessibility issue? Do
usability or accessibility issues get priority in gnome?

I do not know where to jump into the conversation, but this issue is
keeping me off Gnome due to disability:
Single-click mode for all Gnome apps

Please CC me if you want to be sure that I

single-click mode.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Joanie, but that does not sound much better than a
double-click would be (one long click). Can that slider be reduced to
0 time, effectively making it a singl
it would solve the problem of painful double clicks,
it is unnatural, cumbersome, and influent to have "dwell" or "delayed"
clicking. Every other desktop environment has a single-click mode that
is intuitive, easy to use, and provides immediate feedback and
response.

I really do not like the hover-to-active interface idea. I thought
that it was a great idea when I saw it in KDE's alternative main menu
Lancelot, however, it is horribly unnatural in practice.

uses double click
instead of single click, as single click on the thumbnails does
nothing.

Thank you Steven, but that looks like it would double click on
everything even if it does work.

You mention the usability issues. There are also accessibility issues.
I don't know why Gnome borrowed Redmond's
ked wonders for ease of use with single click.

Of course, the issue of single-click is valid even if there are

Of course the idea is to be optional. Many people are happy and
familiar with double-click.
