SUMMARY There is a mouse / touchpad gesture that lets me trigger this if I simply click and hold for no more than a second. Sometimes, I have a pen-based graphics tablet that lets me press and hold for more than a second. This feature gets annoying when I'm not intentionally trying to trigger this function or anything else requiring a long-click. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSUSE 15.4 Leap (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I'd really like some way to turn this off, because after I had a mailing list in the KDE community we later figured out this was likely hardcoded and a part of plasma5-mobile. There should be some way to turn this off at least, given I'm always in a desktop and it should be more convenient to cater to desktop-only users like me. I already have Alt + D and the context menu for my right click to enter edit mode, why would I need a third shortcut that hinders my ability to use things like my graphics tablet?
Yeah, this is supposed to only trigger for touch, not pointing devices.

Git commit 3f612a31a0caa63ea2c40f9ae78167049d43ba6b by Nate Graham. Committed on 22/08/2022 at 12:38. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Only accept press-and-hold to enter Edit Mode, not click-and-hold Press-and-hold is fairly common on touch UIs, but click-and-hold is a very rare interaction. As a result, the user is much more likely to enter Edit Mode accidentally while trying to drag something on the desktop than they are to know that click-and-hold works here and do it intentionally. Let's disable click-and-hold and only enter Edit Mode with a press-and-hold using a touch device. For pointing device users, there are already multiple context menus items that will let them enter Edit Mode.
