And if it IS a single-click-to-open feature that's been enabled, they should be able to select multiple files by holding down Ctrl while clicking.

I'm using UbuntuStudio flavour of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS which is the first one in which the devs decided to adopt KDE Plasma.
But you're right in that I do have a single click option selected in the OS settings. I've always found that to be most useful (saves energy
). In my linux box, the setting is in Workspace > General Behaviour where I selected 'Clicking files or folders opens them'.
I tried selecting the alternative, 'Clicking files or folders selects them' and this restores Sigil's behaviour to your standard and enables me to select multiple files.
[edit]
And no, DiapDealer, in the 'single click opens' behaviour of my linux box, neither Shift+click nor Ctrl+click permits multiple file selection in Sigil. But in Dolphin (my linux file manager) Shift+click permits multiple adjacent file selection and Ctrl+click permits multiple file selection for non-adjacent files while still allowing single click to open a file.
But in my life, this has rarely proved a problem inside Sigil so I think I'll stick with my system using a single click - knowing that if I have a real requirement to select multiple files inside Sigil, I can always reverse this behaviour.
