I prefer to use the standard shortcuts and I think new users should learn them too. For example, Ctrl+C is usually used to interrupt the process in the terminal window. However, these shortcuts are not standard and confusing for users who have some experience of using the terminal. Elementary OS tries to be friendly for new Linux users and I understand that. Disable natural copy-paste in terminalĪnother non-standard behavior of elementary OS is that by default you can use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy and paste in the terminal. Now, you can use your mouse pointer click in a traditional way with one-click to select and double-click to open. Go to Settings → Tweaks → Files, and disable single-click: This is when elementary Tweaks come to play. I also believe many new Linux users are used to double-click. Some users seem to like this behavior, but I do not. It is also the default behavior of Plasma 5. The file manager of elementary OS uses a single click to open files and folders by default. I will show how I used it in the next things to do after installation of elementary OS.
Tweak will be available in your elementary OS Settings after the installation: Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:philip.scott/elementary-tweaks Sudo apt install software-properties-common
