Users who set click behaviour to double click everywhere would not be affected by this change at all!

  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.
