i want to be able to delete a file without having to select it first with LMB. this is because i can only select it with RMB when i click on the file name, whereas i am able to select the file with LMB even in the empty space after the filename.
this may not look like an issue in this example but i have a lot of files that are only 3 characters long plus file extension so most of the line is empty space. furthermore i don’t understand why the behavior is different in the first place.
is there a setting for this?

I believe, they chose a different behaviour for RMB, because otherwise you can’t right-click the background anymore to create subfolders etc., when you’re looking at a folder with lots of files/subfolders inside.
I don’t know, if Windows has a solution for this. I certainly wouldn’t be surprised, if they don’t.
idk, i made a dedicated “create new folder” button on the title bar in win10
Or you could remember Ctrl+Shift+N, which also creates a new folder in the current directory
