<title>File manager behavior preferences</title>
<p>You can control whether you single-click or double-click files, how
executable text files are handled, and the trash behavior. Click the menu
button in the top-right corner of the window and select <gui>Preferences</gui>,
and select the <gui>Behavior</gui> tab.</p>

<section id="behavior">
<title>Behavior</title>
<terms>
 <item>
  <title><gui>Single click to open items</gui></title>
  <title><gui>Double click to open items</gui></title>
  <p>By default, clicking selects files and double-clicking opens them.
  You can instead choose to have files and folders open when you click on
  them once. When you use single-click mode, you can hold down the
  <key>Ctrl</key> key while clicking to select one or more files.</p>

<section id="executable">
<title>Executable text files</title>
 <p>An executable text file is a file that contains a program that you can run
 (execute). The <link xref="nautilus-file-properties-permissions">file
 permissions</link> must also allow for the file to run as a program. The most
 common are <sys>Shell</sys>, <sys>Python</sys> and <sys>Perl</sys> scripts.
 These have extensions <file>.sh</file>, <file>.py</file> and <file>.pl</file>,
 respectively.</p>
 
 <p>When you open an executable text file, you can select from:</p>
 
 <list>
  <item>
    <p><gui>Run executable text files when they are opened</gui></p>
  </item>
  <item>
    <p><gui>View executable text files when they are opened</gui></p>
  </item>
  <item>
    <p><gui>Ask each time</gui></p>
  </item>
 </list>

 <p>If <gui>Ask each time</gui> is selected, a dialog will pop up asking if you
 wish to run or view the selected text file.</p>

 <p>Executable text files are also called <em>scripts</em>. All scripts in the
 <file>~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts</file> folder will appear in the context
 menu for a file under the <gui style="menuitem">Scripts</gui> submenu. When a
 script is executed from a local folder, all selected files will be pasted to
 the script as parameters. To execute a script on a file:</p>

<steps>
  <item>
    <p>Navigate to the desired folder.</p>
  </item>
  <item>
    <p>Select the desired file.</p>
  </item>
  <item>
    <p>Right click on the file to open the context menu and select the desired
    script to execute from the <gui style="menuitem">Scripts</gui> menu.</p>
  </item>
</steps>

 <note style="important">
  <p>A script will not be passed any parameters when executed from a remote
  folder such as a folder showing web or <sys>ftp</sys> content.</p>
