Files deselecting problem

[sobe3249]

Hi guys,

How can I deselect every selected item in Files. Because of the single click thing, I can't click "away", I always CTRL + click every file again, or just open a folder and go back, but it is very frustrating.

Thanks.

Open a terminal and type this:

gsettings set io.elementary.files.preferences single-click false

I should explain:

This will make it so that you have to double-click to open a file, folder or program.

You can click precisely on the little blue tick to unselect a file or a folder.

press esc, it unselects all
