Maybe you should check Autohotkey. A great tool. For example you can script the computer to double click whenever you press F1.

Thanks for the workarounds.

I still think it would be nice if the game worked more like OS desktops (ie. double click to run, single click to select and then press enter to run, right click for context menu and select run, etc.)

I don't think this is a controversial request? Apart from the work to get it done.

Nah philip that's aids because you see all trash games everywhere. For my rating range it's way better to sort on average player rating which limits it to around the first 3 games.

And joonasto that definitely happened to me before when i still had a lower rating and had the games sorted by players.

Also, isn't double clicking for stuff like this normal in games? In most other games you have, afaik, both a double click option and an option to select the game and then click a 'join' button somewhere below, but never have i seen single clicks.

you can sort lobbies by age so they don't jump around and you don't click on the wrong one

I don't see how single/doubleclick changes this. It's not like anyone is so slow at doubleclicking they will have time to think after the first one oh snap, I didn't want to join this one, I wanted that instead.

Just configure your mouse wheel button as double click:

Either right click (which does nothing right now anyways), right click into a context menu, or left click and then enter?
Or just change it to a single left click, I don't think that currently does anything either?

That's a good point.
I don't see why a single click wouldn't suffice for this seeing as it currently does nothing relevant in that menu.

There is an option called mouse keys you can activate on your pc and when its enabled the "+" key becomes a double click
