Gnome File manager -- right-click menu missing "open in new window"
Previously (Fedora 17 and earlier) right-button click on a directory icon produced a menu which included "open in new window".
A bit of a GTK+/Qt desktop consistency issue:
Is it possible to make GTK+ apps open files on a single click?
In Qt, item views have two separate concepts of "clicked" and "activated" (== double click by default).
No single click of mouse to open files. Used to be a nautilus preference under behavior to select mouse "single click". Installed "gconf-editor" and single click for mouse has check mark in box but no-worky.
This tutorial will explain how to configure Ubuntu make single left-click open files/folders, launch applications.
1. Open a nautilus window by launching Home Folder in Unity launcher.
2. Navigate to Edit -> Preferences -> Behavior tab.
3. Under behavior, tick on “Single click to open items”
That’s it, enjoy!

Sometimes a double click selects everything left and right until the next non-alphabetic character (e.g. it selects the word under the cursor).
Sometimes everything until the next blank/eol is selected (e.g.
I installed both 11.1 and 11.2 to make sure it was not the OS version.
This has been bugging the heck out of me. I have slack64 13.1 and I'm running gnome after installing GSB. The only problem I'm having right now is getting it to save my preferences. Ex. I want to use Gedit when I double click on a PHP file, but it wants me to use VIM. So I right click -> open with -> select Gedit from list and check "Remember this application for PHP files".
Hi,I have problem with setting as default file manager nautilus. When I click Right Buttom Mouse and I choose "File Manager", open Thunar. This situation is repeat also, when I click RBM and choose "Places" and next "Browser here...".In "GUI Menu Editor" I set in "File Manager" execute "nautilus" but it's not working.
