Do we really want a double-click mouse by default?
I've never seen this as the default it kde -> took me a while to find it.
Any thoughts?
Yeah, stop trying to convert the world. The savior complex has killed many people in
history. :)
Single click is for geeks and Mac dweebs. The remainder of the populace is accustomed to
double-click. That should be the default. I want people to use Trinity and that means
dealing with some things that are status quo. After they use Trinity regularly they can
learn about single click.
Change the defaults for your packages. I do.
In my build script, after the make and make install is complete, I perform housekeeping
chores. I have a small template kdeglobals config file in my tdebase build directory:
[General]
XftAntialias=true
XftHintStyle=hintfull
XftSubPixel=rgb
[KDE]
DoubleClickInterval=700
SingleClick=false
Notice I change the double click interval to something sane. The default requires people
to move their fingers faster than rabbits copulating.
In my build script I overwrite the default kdeglobals file with mine:
if [ ! -e $PKG${PREFIX}/share/config/kdeglobals ]; then
cat $CWD/config/kdeglobals > $PKG${PREFIX}/share/config/kdeglobals
chmod 644 $PKG${PREFIX}/share/config/kdeglobals
...
Just one example. :)
