Single click for opening files & directories

[stelonix]

Is it possible to require only a single click in order to open files & expand directories?

[vovkkk]

Should be possible theoretically.

You have to create your own command with unique name which will handle click (like our doubleclick) and bind this new command to click in sublime-mousemap file (like Default.sublime-mousemap).
Keep both files in Packages/User folder.

Now the trick is that you should call 'drag_select' first, so it will change position of cursor, and then call appropriate command of SFB.

I can't get double click to work - is it enabled by default?

[vovkkk]

Yes, double click is enabled, perhaps you have to restart Sublime Text.
Also, if it doesn’t work after restart, look at console, is there any error? View → Show Console

[aramk]

Hi @vovkkk, no errors. I'm running 3114 after restarting.

What exactly happen when you double click?
OS?
Any other plugins change mouse interactions? show me content of Preferences → Package Settings → Package Control → Settings — User

@vovkkk I'm using Mac OS X. Nothing happens on double click.

[vovkkk]

You have two plugins, mouse-maps of which are conflicting with SFB: WordHighlight, and SublimeXiki.

You may add them to ignored packages and see if dblclk works, to be sure if I’m right or not: Preferences → Settings — User:

{
    "ignored_packages":
    [
        "WordHighlight",
        "SublimeXiki",
        "Vintage"
    ]
}

The easiest fix is dropping SFB mouse-map to your Packages/User directory.

Thanks that fixes the double click

Make a little extesion like -

# Path to save this file => Packages/User/NoPreview.py
import sublime
import sublime_plugin
import os

class NoPreview(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
    def on_load(self, view):
        if (os.path.exists(view.file_name())):
            view.run_command('save')

and name this file as NoPreview.py and save it to Packages/User/ directory.

It works good for me to open files with single click, I'm using windows 8.1.
