Users who set click behaviour to double click everywhere would not be affected by this change at all! > > (And please think twice before making this discussion about a general single vs. double click debate again; I'm trying to improve single click to make more sense for the common use cases here, as we agreed upon as a sensible direction. Thanks ;) Makes sense. I'll let you be the judge of what behavior makes the most sense for single-click, since I don't use it. However to maybe set the record straight: I don't hate single-click; in fact, I love it conceptually! I'm very interested in improving the UX, particularly regarding ease-of-use with selections. If reverting to double-click makes sense here for usability, then let's do it.

Yep, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393547 Hopefully Roman will fix this soon. In the meantime, you'll have to toggle it by editing `kate ~/.config/kdeglobals`; add `SingleClick=(true|false)` to the `[KDE]` section.
