This change improves the user experience in the Git Panel by allowing users to open a file in the editor by double-clicking its entry in the status list.

Previously, opening a file required a secondary click (e.g., Cmd/Ctrl+Click). Single clicking continues to open the file in the diff view.

Thanks!

Small feedback here: Since #40616 was shipped, I am missing a lot the old behaviour that is: secondary click just open the file but without expanded diff hunks. I also saw that in the linked PR, it was said that no configuration should be needed, but I personally find this very annoying. I extensively use this when working to navigate through changed files.

Anyhow, I am willing to PR to add a configuration, but one idea could also be to distinguish the 2 actions like so:

• double-click: just open the file
• secondary click: open the file with expanded diff

wdyt?

Hi @AlexandreBonaventure , The original functionality remains unchanged; only the double-click behavior was modified to just open the file. This change has not been released yet.

@cppcoffee sure, yes I understand! I was just sharing my thoughts for how we could use the double-click to bring back the old behaviour (I miss it :) ) in a follow-up PR if that makes sense!

Hi @AlexandreBonaventure , Double-click is undefined in the latest release version:

yes I know :)
I meant the "old" behaviour before #40616 landed, that is: secondary click used to just open the file without expanding diff hunks

This modification did not change the original right-click functionality, the operation is as follows:
