Bug ID: 420261
   Summary: Wish: Option to launch items with single click in List
mode
   Product: plasmashell
   Version: master
  Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
  Severity: wishlist
  Priority: NOR
 Component: Folder
  Assignee: h...@kde.org
  Reporter: ed...@protonmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: 1.0

Hello, I use the Folder View plasmoid in the KDE panel as a menu: When I click
on the plasmoid icon, the menu is openned with all the .sh files in a folder as
menu items. To get this, I have configured "Icons > View mode > List" in the
plasmoid preferences. The big difference with other menus is that it requires
double click to launch the items.

I know that the plasmoid follows the system settings for the preference of
double/single click to launch items, thus if I set double click in Dolphin then
I will get double click in the plasmoid. But I really would love to keep double
click in Dolphin and get single click in the plasmoid, like in other menus. And
probably many users would love it too.

But other users wouldn't like it. Thus, to make everyone happy, I'm proposing
to add an option to the List mode ("Icons > View mode > List"), for example:

[x] Single click to launch items (ignore system settings)

The option could be unchecked by default, to keep current behabior.

Thank you for this great plasmoid

Yes, it's simple. When the Folder View plasmoid is put on the taskbar (KDE
panel) and is configured in List mode, it looks like a menu: When you click on
the plasmoid, a popup list of menu items is shown and you can choose one of
them to be launched. It is similar to the KDE start menu, where a popup list of
menu items is shown and you can single click on one of them to be launched.

In few words: It has the aspect of a menu, and the structure of a menu, but not
the behaviour of a menu. I think many of us would love it to behave like a
menu, by adding the option to enable single click.
