Opening Files With A Single Click Instead Of A Double Click In GNOME
Opening Files With A Single Click Instead Of A Double Click In GNOMEVersion 1.0 This short guide describes how you can configure your GNOME desktop so that you can open files and directories with a single mouseclick instead of a double click. This is helpful if you switch from Windows to Linux and used to open files and directories with a single click on your Windows desktop, too. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Configure Single MouseclicksThe single mouseclick can be configured in GNOME's file browser, Nautilus (this is similar to Windows where you configure the mouseclick in the Windows Explorer). Go to Places > Home Folder to open the Nautilus file browser:
Usually you'd have to double-click a file to open it (e.g. double-click one of these wallpapers to open it in an image viewer).
To enable the single mouseclick, go to Edit > Preferences:
The window File Management Preferences comes up. Go to the Behavior tab and select Single click to activate items, then click on Close:
That's it. Now you can open files with a single mouseclick (e.g. click on a wallpaper once to have it opened in an image viewer).
