It does not seem to be standard practice for Tk-based interfaces (and indeed it was not part of GraphApp on Windows -- I added it after some years).

If you supply a tested patch to the R-devel sources it will be considered for 2.8.0. The 'next version' is 2.7.2 and imminent, so I don't think we would consider it for that unless you get lots of support in the next 24 hours.

Am I the only one who finds himself futilely double-clicking a CRAN

I am surprised you have not set up a preferred CRAN mirror long ago.

Adding the following line to the tk_select.list function in the tcltk
package adds double-click functionality to list dialogs:

 tkbind(box, "<Double-ButtonPress-1>",onOK)

(put it in the right place though, after 'box' has been created).

Not sure if this would be a default behaviour, or if its's worth
having a 'doubleClick=FALSE' argument that switches it on if TRUE.
Anyway, it was a little niggle that bothered me recently, and after
fixing someone else's TclTK problem recently I figured I'd have a go
at this.

Consider it a feature request for the next version.
