Single Click to Launch freaks?

[MilesAhead]

Hmmmmm, I've been resisting for a long time but index finger fatigue is making me hate double-clicking constantly. I'm trying Use Checkboxes to Select and Single Click to Launch settings.

It remains to be seen how long I'll stay with it. So far so good.

Hello MA.


I hate double click, the first thing I do after install is set to single.

 

[pparks1]

Huh...never even thought about changing it.

Whatever the default is...I mean, since some launches now are in single click, i do not mind double click!

PS: I've got a very sensitive mice at 1600dpi and helps a lot!

Single click every time. It's one of the first things I do when completing a new installation.

I always set my system up to single click.

That's interesting. I think I resisted single click because when I first started doing Linux the copy on select and single click stuff discombobulated me. I should have tried it again years ago. I noticed an article about it today so I tried it.

Next thing you know I'll be editing text with vim. There must be something in the water supply!!

vi(m) user here as well. While most seem to hate it, I like it because in Linux and such you can just count on it being there.

That may help offset the bias generated by the topic title.

I prefer double click for 2 reasons:

1. It prevents accidentally opening things (like games)
2. I can double click almost as fast as I can single click, so it doesn't bother me
3. It is default on most systems, so I don't need to worry about forgetting.

(Ok so there are 3 )

i agree with bob.

avoid accidentally launch unexpected file
i don't see a big difference with 1 click and 2 click,but i can see difference between 1 and 3

makes me better in clicking faster(especially when im gaming on FPS)

the first and 3rd answers are the same thing.

Which is what I prefer. It's annoying getting on a single click system to try and fix and being used to the double clicking to open and single click to select, on a single click system, to select several items that are separated by other files and folders, you have to hover and wait, it's a pain in the arse, and slows down my troubleshooting repair time. I usually go in and change it back while I am working on the system and figure the user can change it back when they want. Because, again, it's a pain the ass when trying to select numerous files in certain locations where there are no check boxes on a single click system. Check boxes do simplify it a bit, but still, pain the arse. Could be I am thinking more about XP than 7.

looks like double click have been part of our life

im just saying

 

[smarteyeball]

I used to be a single clicker, but after so many installations I kept forgetting to change it and now I've reverted back to being a double-clicker.

Just like LB et alii, it avoids inadvertently opening things and I double click pretty quickly anyway.

Been single click for 10 years. I'm use to it. Never have a problem. When I get on a system thats double click it just slows me down.
