So I got tired of double clicking

Computer mice have been around for a while now, I have used a lot of different ones in my time. This morning I started thinking about double clicking again. I've been double clicking, because that is the Windows default way of doing things (single click to select) - but I don't have to. So I enabled single click on Peppermint.

Here's how to do it:

• Open PCManFM
• Click on Edit
• Click Preferences
• Click on Open files with a single click

These instructions are specific to LXDE, which uses PCManFM as it's default file manager.


Other desktop interfaces:

To do this in KDE: (if it's not the default)

• Click "Start"
• Go to System Settings
• Open Keyboard and Mouse
• Click the Double click to open files and folders radio button
• Confirm if you have to, or close the window

To do this in Gnome 2:

• Open your file browser (Nautilus)
• Click on Edit
• Click on Preferences
• Click the Behaviour tab
• Click the radio button for Single click to activate items
• Click Close

To do this in Gnome 3:

• Open your file browser
• Click on File (top left)
• Click Preferences
• Go to the Behaviour tab 
• Click Enable single click
• Click Close

To do this in Unity:
