Double click settings were moved under Desktop Behavior -> Workspace settings, because they are not specifically mouse-specific.

Oh, sorry, double click *interval*. That configuration panel was refactored, and I suspect that there is no much to do for this release.

Did I understand correctly that I can not set a interval double click?

I have found this setting under:

Settings -> System Settings -> Hardware -> Input Devices -> Mouse -> Advanced (I translated these items from my language, not sure if my translation is 100 % correct).

You can set the double click interval there, plus a few other things.
My Plasma version is 5.12.5, hopefully it hasn't been removed since.

You need to be using evdev instead of libinput to have the advanced settings tab.

You can change the double click rate manually by changing
Code: Select all
DoubleClickInterval
in the
Code: Select all
KDE
section of ~/.config/kdeglobals

The other mouse settings are in ~/.config/kaccessrc and ~/.config/kcminputrc

I not remove libinput, because I have dependencies qt5-base and xf86-input-libinput

The KDE System Settings can show both the old evdev and the new libinput settings.

Configuration with the X

The default is the new libinput:

The older evdev can be enabled from the X configuration file - /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf:

Code: Select all
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "evdev-mouse"
    MatchIsPointer "yes"
    Driver "evdev"
EndSection

That might be an Arch config thing - I'm running Kubuntu 18.04 and don't have the new libinput as default. I did a clean install of 18.04 after putting in a new SSD drive and the older style was default, then I had to install evdev package to get my mouse to work properly for acceleration. I may have to play around with this now...perhaps libinput was simply not working due to a KDE config setting...

...What changed is that in Plasma 5.13, we now support Libinput when used as a mouse driver. So if you have Libinput installed, you will see the Libinput-specific configuration interface that lacks controls for features Libinput doesn't support...

Ah that explains it...Kubuntu 18.04 is still on 5.12 branch. I guess it'll get updated soon to 5.13 branch and then it'll work.
Thanks Rog131

I'm a bit late to the party, but just found this problem today after I installed a new mouse that needed some tweaking. ;)

I'm on Debian 10.6 'Buster':
  • Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 10
  • KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5
  • Qt Version: 5.11.3
  • KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0
  • Kernel Version: 4.19.0-12-amd64
  • OS Type: 64-bit
I had to do a combination of adding to /etc/X11/xorg.conf as shown above:
Code: Select all
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "evdev-mouse"
    MatchIsPointer "yes"
    Driver "evdev"
EndSection

... and install an additional package:
Code: Select all
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-evdev

... then rebooted, and now I have "advanced" and "keyboard navigation" tabs.
