There are a ton of useful preferences like these that make OS X behave in ways that I find more natural. TinkerTool (https://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool) has a nice “missing system preferences” GUI for configuring them. I’ve been using it for at least 15 years, but you can still download old versions for support all the way back to OS X Public Beta in the year 2000. It was one of the first things I always installed way back when defragging hard drives and occasional clean system installs were routine maintenance.

I know we’re talking about this in the context of much-loved utilities going sideways, but if tweaking system prefs is your thing it gets a strong recommend.
