The drive view and Your Drives disagreed about what a click on a row does, and neither agreed with anything else. - In a drive, a click selected a folder and a second, separate click on the same row entered it. That is the gesture that means rename in Finder and Windows Explorer, and it made entering a folder slower than in any comparable app. - On Your Drives, a click opened the drive at once. Both now follow the file manager's rule, as Google Drive keeps it: - A click selects, immediately. - A double-click opens: a folder is entered, a drive is opened, a file shows its details. - A tap on a touch screen opens, since a finger has no double-click and no hover to show what is chosen. That includes tablets wide enough to get the desktop layout. - Enter opens the selected row, and a screen reader's activate opens it too. The double-click is timed by hand rather than with `onDoubleTap`. A detector listening for a double tap holds every single tap back until its window closes, and a click that takes a third of a second to select anything feels broken. The first click acts at once and arms a window; a second click on the same row inside it opens. One copy of that rule, `ArDriveDoubleClick` in `ardrive_ui`, serves both lists so they cannot drift apart. On Your Drives a click makes that drive the whole selection, as a click on a row does anywhere: the checkbox ticks, the selection strip appears, and Sync acts on it. Ticking checkboxes still adds to a selection. A chosen row is now tinted with the explorer's own `selectedItemColor`, so a click shows it did something even on a narrow screen with no checkbox column. The left nav is unchanged: it is navigation, and one click there still opens a drive. What goes away is the slower second click. It no longer opens a folder, and on a file it no longer hides the details panel, which would otherwise have made a double-click show the details and then snatch them away. The panel closes from its own button. The shared table only changes for a caller that passes `onRowOpen`. The move, hide and licence dialogs, which draw it to pick a row, keep the behaviour they had. Enter is handled the way the table already handles Escape and select-all: through a `HardwareKeyboard` handler. Because that is global, it stands aside while text is being typed, while a dialog is on top, and while several rows are ticked. The table had no `dispose`, so those global handlers were never removed. The select-all shortcut would go on calling setState on a table the reader had already left. They are removed now, along with the new one. Verification: 17 new tests across the table, the drives list row and the cubit. Six mutations, each breaking one rule, are each caught by a failing assertion rather than a compile error. The full suite is 2,181 passing, and `flutter analyze` is clean. Not covered by a test: the explorer's own wiring, a click to `selectDataItem` and an open to `openFolder`, which lives in a private part of the drive page.

An independent review of the first cut found that a double-click on Your Drives could open the wrong drive, and worse. The first click made the drive the selection. A selection brings in the strip above the list and withdraws the sync-everything prompt and the unread changes banner, so every row moved between the two clicks. The second click landed on the row above, which it selected. On the first row it landed on the headings and re-sorted the list, or on the strip's Sync Selected button. On a narrow screen, with no checkbox and no strip, the click made a selection nobody could see or clear, and it still narrowed Sync to that one drive. A click now highlights the row and nothing else, the way a click on a row in the explorer does. Ticking stays what it was: the selection Sync acts on. The highlight is keyboard focus, so Enter straight after a click opens the drive, Tab moves the same highlight, and it is drawn in the explorer's colour for a chosen row. `selectOnly` and its plumbing are gone. The table's Enter moves off the global keyboard handler onto the table's own focus. As a global handler it fired alongside whatever else had focus. A click on a row now brings focus to the table, which takes it out of the search box as Google Drive does. Enter opens only while focus is in the table, and only a selected row that is on screen: entering a folder leaves it as the explorer's selection, and Enter would otherwise have entered it again. New tests are a double-click on a page of drives, a click that must not tick, Enter after a click, Enter after typing in search, a button focused elsewhere, and a selection that has left the screen. Eleven mutations are each caught by a failing assertion. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ShVJiUhdRWk35ZWbP3sZyN

check _currentPage instead of widget.rows, preventing stale selections from
another page from invoking onRowOpen. Add a regression test that selects a row,
changes pages, sends Enter, and verifies no row opens.

The Enter guard asked whether the selected row was among the table's rows, but the table pages them, twenty-five at a time. A row chosen on the first page stayed selected after the reader moved to the second, and Enter opened a row that was not on screen. The guard now asks the page in view, which is what its comment already said it did. Found by CodeRabbit. The new test chooses a row, moves to the next page and presses Enter; it fails against the old check.
