My personal opinion: This would be bad UX and bad for accessibility (some
people have set single click for opening files because they have difficulty in
double-clicking).

Note that the single/double click behaviour is not specific to Dolphin; it is a
*global* Plasma setting.

As a single-click user, this is what I would expect and prefer in Lokalize
(when using single-click as the global option):

Single-click will open a file.
Ctrl + click will select a file without opening it.

Note that this is not the same as the old behaviour, but I think the old
behaviour, where Ctrl + click opened a file in a background tab, should be
considered a bug. In *all other applications*, Ctrl + click only selects stuff.
Lokalize should behave like other applications.

Besides, the ‘open in a background tab’ behaviour was actually quite annoying,
as it takes time to open a PO file, so the UI became somewhat unresponsive
(i.e., it was slow to select multiple files).
