Godot does not respect Windows' single-click setting

[Torguen]

Tested versions

v3.6.stable.official [de2f0f1]

System information

w11

Issue description

I have configured Windows so that I only need to use a single click for everything, including navigating folders, launching programs, etc. Windows allows this configuration, and it works system-wide.

However, Godot does not respect this setting, and double-clicks are still required to navigate folders in the file menus of Godot.

I suspect this also happens in Godot 4.

Steps to reproduce

I configured the mouse so that I only need to single-click for everything.

I launched Godot and opened a window where I needed to navigate through files, but it still required double-clicks.

What windows configuration are you referring to? The file explorer option to use single click to open items?

This works correctly with native dialogs in 4.5, but unsure if other software that implements their own file managers respect this

[AThousandShips]

Other programs that implement their own file dialogs don't necessarily respect this, one example is GNU Octave and GIMP, probably same situation using Blender, though I don't have it installed so I can't confirm

So this doesn't seem like a thing that's necessarily expected to work with software that implements their own file dialogs like we do

In 4.x you can enable native file dialogs in the editor and it will work as in the rest of Windows

I was referring to this option:

I thought that if I wanted single-click navigation in Windows, other programs would automatically apply that as well. But I see that’s not the case, at least with Godot. Blender doesn’t respect this setting either.

[AThousandShips]

So currently we have:

• Blender
• Gimp
• GNU Octave
• Godot

Would be interesting to find any app that does respect this when not using the native interface

I don't know how we could even fetch this system setting if we were to follow this setting

I haven't used windows in a while, but I think that this setting could be stored somewhere within the windows registry. It might be accessible via the win32 api?

This option only belongs to Windows File Explorer, not Windows system. Other applicaitions - even microsoft's do not follow this option. For example, Visual Studio Solution Explorer does not follow this option.
