Hi Nyall,
Is there no technical reason for the double click? If not, then I would
suggest, single click would be better (if it is feasible to switch at
all). Most online tools (like Google search, or Web-GIS) have a single
click for the search results. I don't think that QGIS users care about
Qt creator's locator. >99% wouldn't even know that Qt creator exists.
Personally, I don't have a strong opinion on it, but colleagues at my
employer asked my "why double click?" and I promised them to find out
why it is that way. They said: wouldn't it be nice, if QGIS would behave
like most other applications when it comes to search ...
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
The locator widget result is a tree view. Results are triggered when the item
is activated.
From Qt doc [0 [1]], activation depends on the platform (single vs double
click).
We could change this to use clicked (actually clicked+entered) instead.
I don't know why it was built like this at first, let's wait for Nyall's input.
I don't think there was any particular motivation behind the
double-click interaction. I was mostly trying to reproduce exactly how
Qt creator's locator worked, so that's likely what drove that
decision.
That said, we'd need to ensure we don't break keyboard only
interaction by a move away from the double-click activation.

Hi,
We just had a Locator plugin developed for our organization. During beta testing it, my users asked
why they have to "double-click" instead of "single-click" on a search result in
order to get the chosen search result.
For now I said them that QGIS core does it like this and that Plugins cannot or
should not change this behaviour.
But why is QGIS core using double click instead of single click? I guess there
might be a reason ... Could you please fill me in about the reason?
Thanks,
Andreas
