How to open a folder in Finder by a single mouse click? (using Icon view)

desktopfinder

Is there a setting, key combination or similar to open a folder/subfolder in Finder with a single mouse click ? I need a general solution which works on any folder in effort to minimize needless clicking … that tiny triangle aside the folder icon will work yet its just too small and only appears using list view … inspired by same behavior on osx inside a browser to hold down command key and single click a web link … forcing users to double click is so 20th Century

Is there a way to enable this on macOS (High Sierra or higher)?

On ubuntu this single click preference is a simple setting 😉

I agree with you on double click. I bought a multi-key mouse. I assign a key to double click. Not a perfect or free solution, but better.
