This is one of the first things I always tweak in KDE, so I love this change, but I’m curious how others feel.

      I haven’t tried it but if it works the same as a mobile OS you long click to select. Single click to execute.

      Edit: apparently that’s not how it works. There is a checkbox on every icon that you have to click directly on the check box to select/unselect.

      I’ve always used the little plus sign on icons. It’s ingrained into my brain. I even did the same on windows before switching to Linux 6 years ago. Single click and the little check box on Windows.
