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

    Exactly. I never need to select a link on the web to do things like rename or move them, while I do that with files all the time

      Maybe the KDE devs were expecting you to do file management using the keyboard only. Or maybe they thought that linux users aren’t technical enough that they would ever consider organizing their files. Just dumb it all on the desktop and call it a day, amarite?
