has anyone tried simply enabling single clicks in Nautilus? for a starters, that sufficed for me.
i hope i'm not stepping on anybody's face if i mention that we are just having an exceptionally lengthy discussion [1] in a "downstream" usability related ML on exactly this topic.. the essence i draw out of the discussion that there is inconsistency concerning single and double click.. looks like we have ourselves a big fish here.. The clearest reason why we can consider ourselves well on the way to single clicking is the difficulty associated with learning and applying double click [2] in the mutliple computing environments we use today (touch-screens, mobile phones, augmented reality stuff) It took me weeks to find out that double click on images would zoom in on my touch screen enabled mobile phone.. the two finger gesture was more obvious to me from beginning on, since it mimicks a physical interaction from the real world, which i can not say of double clicking.
