The Trackpad has force touch which has multiple levels of pressure to activate different things. If you fully press the trackpad on an icon, it will QuickLook the file which sort of opens the file.

You can turn off Force Click in the Trackpad System Preferences.


Have you made any adjustment to make the trackpad work for you better?
