            Bug ID: 505638
           Summary: Suggestion: Double-right-click to edit files
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
      Version First unspecified
       Reported In:
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist

         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

I've noticed there's two big classes of things I usually want to do with files:
1. Execute, view, or "open" it (example: view HTML in a web browser).
2. Edit it (which usually means opening it in a text or image editor).

So I'd like to suggest a feature: each file type (including directories) should
have both an "open" tool and an "edit" tool associated with it, and we have
double-left-click open it (like now) while double-right-click edits it. (In
some but not all cases, the two programs might be the same.)

Examples of programs I might set as open/edit defaults:
* Code files can be opened and executed as a program, or edited in VSCode.
* Directories: view with Dolphin (so double-left-click on a desktop folder
opens it), edit in VSCode (open it as a workspace).
* Doc files: Probably set LibreOffice as both the open and edit program.
* PDF: view in Okular, edit in LibreOffice.
In short, I want to have some kind of "secondary action" that can be done with
double-right-click (or triple-left-click, I'm not wedded to the details).
