Since nautilus has removed the dual pane. So I turn to dolphin.

I am wondering how to change the default select behavior in detail view mode?

Now to select a file/folder, my cursor has to hover over that file/folder and then the left click will take effect, but I much prefer the nautilus way, that is as long as your cursor is in the same row of that file/folder, left click picks up that item. This I think is more robust for user selection, it is faster. Any ideas how to achieve this in dolphin?
