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

    Avoids misclicks from opening stuff by mistake just for that alone is worth it to me.

      I personally never accidentally open with 1 click, since it is engraved into my brain that 1click=open just like it is engraved that 2clicks=open for people who use double click

        I meant misclicks like clicking by mistake, like you clicked the item while trying to click something else or simply clicking by mistake the physical button of the mouse… Maybe uncommon… true but when it happens that a folder or full app opens is annoying.
