Double click folder in tree-view to open NEW tab

Hello

I can't seem to find a setting that allows user to doulbe click on a folder in the tree view to open it in a new tab. Single clicking opens in the existing tab but i think it will be intuitive to double click to open in new tab. is there a workout/functionality for this?

Thanks
B

Shift + left click the entry in the tree to open it in a new tab...

Thanks i saw that keyboard shortcut but i was specifically looking for mouse-only functionality via a double setting.

Alternatively i'm also aware of the left-mouse clock on a folder in the tree view and select 'Open in new tab' but that's a total of 3 mouse clicks. I do alot of folder/file/move/edit operations so having a mouse-double-click feature to open in a new tab would save alot of finger-drudgery.

The only other way would be:
Configuration - General - Custom Event Actions - Clicking on Items - Middle-click on folder - Action = Open in new foreground tab

Otherwise you're currently out of luck

Nice! Thank you. That's what i was looking for.

I had used an alternate solution to map my logitech mouse middle button to XYPlorer keyboard shortcut to open the tab in the foreground but your solution is much cleaner.

Cheers
