Bug ID: 480875
Summary: Let tablet mode automatically switch to single
tap/click
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.93.0
Platform: unspecified
OS: Unspecified
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Input Method
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@kuchenmampfer.de
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
I know there has been a lot of discussion on single click versus double click
and double click was chosen because every distro defaults to it. I do agree
with this when using mouse input devices. But for touch, it does not make a lot
of sense for the following reasons:
- Opening recently used files in for example Okular or Kate is impossible with
touch (see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480375 for details)
- You need many tries to open a folder (not from the side bar) in the file
picker because there is no consistently working way to do it via touch
- Dolphin handles this by already automatically switching to single tap when
the tap is not a mouse click but a touch tap. So switching to single click
entirely in tablet mode would only make this more consistent
An alternative to autoswitching to single click would of curse be adressing the
first two issues individually. But this would make it quite likely that many
more issues like these would pop up over time which would need to be adressed
one by one. That is why I chose to primarily propose autoswitching to single
click in tablet mode. Maybe there is also another even more elegant solution,
but I don't know how this works internally well enough to judge this properly.
