    Default Single mouse click to edit single line text

    I've noticed when selecting single line text boxes, instead of needing to double click to select, after a while all I have to do is click it once to open, which is great! Is there a way to set this feature on all the time?

    (In later versions) if you press Enter to stop editing an item you need to double-click to select the next item. If you single-click outside the editor you only need a single-click to select the next.

    Tried it but that doesn't work. Now I'm trying every which way but still need to double click. One click on the mouse was working last week... I have about 500 Items to click; at least I'll get a good work out

    Figured it out: if you press the Enter key twice quickly, the next time you open the text box it does it in one click. To turn off, hit Enter key twice again.

    That's neat. What version are you using?
