Open Message With Single Click ?

[not2bright]

Hi,

Although I have been using RC only occasionally recently, I will need to start using RC on a regular basis for my email provider who just introduced it as his new/only webmail version. Generally, I like it very much, but one thing I don't like is the need to double-click to read/open a message.  OFF-line clients tend to work this way, but most ON-line clients (e.g. at Hotmail, Gmail, FastMail, HushMail, etc., etc.) are set up in such a way that when the preview pane is off, it only takes a single-click to open a message.  This is possible because these clients have a check-box at the left of the message list to 'select' a message.  

RC obviously does things differently -- unfortunately:  One-click for 'selecting,' and double-clicking for opening.  

I have been searching the archives to find threads on this subject, and all I have found so far are discussions (mostly requests) from several years ago (2006, 2007) to have this changed, so that RC will function more conveniently, i.e. like other webmails (single-click to open a message).  Apparently, a lot of people would like this changed, but it hasn't been yet.  Now, since I haven't found anything recent in the archives regarding this issue, I thought I'd ask: is this feature available (that I just haven't found how to turn it on), or is it planned for a future release (soon) ?  Or do RC developers believe the double-click method for viewing messages is better for some reason ?  (Just curious.)  

Any comments (or even work-arounds) welcome !  

Thanks !!

If you have access or can convince the person who run the RoundCube to install the chbox https://github.com/umount/rcplugin_chbox plugin it will add the check boxes and I believe that makes the message open with a single click.

No, it doesn't. As far as I can see, the only purpose of the chbox plugin is to select multiple rows without CTRL+click.
