We got a new kid around 19 working at our office for processing data and I hate how true this is. The amount of times I've had to say "No, you have to double click to open folders" is entirely too many. Either that or "You have to actually right click on the icon you want to copy you can't just click anywhere on the screen."
We are getting this teached in 6th grade what country is this from? Edit: Įn 8th rudementary python.
Fuck me I'm not ready for that. You expect it from the old people but I might have to leave the room if a young person asked me something like that.
In high school I had to teach a kid how a mouse worked.
I teach undergrads, and every year basic computer skills get worse and worse. I guess it’s not entirely their fault, but things like just asking them to save a file to their computer is insanely difficult. Lots of universities are starting to get task forces to figure out how to teach (or where to teach rather) basic digital skills, it it’s all going to hit the workforce really soon en masse.
That's a real problem when you're used to Kde and have to use a windows machine.
(Why is this damn thing so slow ? Oooh, right, double click)
I use KDE Neon and have used Kubuntu before. Double click to open a folder is the default, same as Windows.
It is in the latest versions but it's very recent. The default has always been single click. They changed it because of windows users.
You can absolutely configure Windows to open folders -- and all other shortcuts -- with a single click, and IIRC one of the knocks against Windows ME was that this was the default option. And it was godawful, along with the "click" noise it made on navigation. (I think it was WinME. I've probably suppressed the memory, and rightly so.)
But the long and short of it is if you want consistency between your UI's in that regard you can indeed have it.
I think I tried it years ago. But it didn't really work with the windows ui for some reason. Nowadays I don't use it often enough to bother personalising it.
