How to stop Nemo 20.04 double-click behavior

  • 772

I am using Ubuntu Budgie 20.04 and I am struggling with a new feature in the file manager.

When you are double-clicking your way down through a stack of folders, if you accidentally double-click in the white space (rather than on a folder), it actually goes up one level which is very disorienting when you are expecting it to drill down.

I am sure someone thought this feature is great, and perhaps some like it. However, I just want to disable it.

Is there a way?

    Open up your terminal and type the following two commands to disable double-click from going up one folder:

    gsettings set org.nemo.preferences click-double-parent-folder false

sudo gsettings set org.nemo.preferences click-double-parent-folder false
