Selecting text is still possible by double-clicking, as is tap-and-drag
on touch interfaces so a global catch all wouldn't work. However, I
think the all the hard work has already been done.

I've just done a cursory test in Nautilus. I set it to single-click and
double-clicked for every interaction:
* folders only open once, (also when in spatial mode)
* files only open once
