  If a feature can be triggered by accident, we should fix that instead of adding an option to disable the feature. In this case, the double click should trigger the action only if it's not "near an item".

  Interesting. I personally like the idea of "selecting all" on double click. I also see very good arguments in favor of not adding the feature as-is ;)
