[Feature Request] Option to Start instead of Open when double-click on saved session

[PhilippeCadieux]

Right now, if you double-click a saved session it will do the equivalent of clicking the "Open" button and close the Configuration window.

I prefer to use the "Start" button to keep the configuration window opened in the background allowing me to quickly switch between multipled saved sessions.

Having an option to change the behavior when double-clicking a saved session to do a "Start" instead of an "Open" would be greatly appreciated.

Dear @cyd01, make this option work, please. Very handy feature!

I think the kitty.ini option

[ConfigBox]
; dblclick: define the default action when double click on a session in session list
;    Allowed values are:
;    - open: press open button
;    - start: press start button
dblclick=start

is supposed to exactly to this. But (at least for me) it doesn't work; the configuration window still closes after starting a SSH session with double click.

@Spoony75, you are absolutely right, but this option does not work and not only for you.

Very strange: it works perfectly on my side.

With

[ConfigBox]
dblclick=start

in kitty.ini configuration file the main window remains opened after double-click on any session name. Need more context.

Kitty Portable crashes after a second or two with 'dblclick=start' set.

@cyd01, watch the video from issue #468, please. Tell me what else I need to do?

[cyd01]

Ok I understand: you use "Portable mode" ! I never use it. I need some more tests.

For me it's cool. I don't need dblclick=start. I was just telling if it could help someone.
