Blender 2.8 wierd face and element selection workflow

For example, how I can select the whole left cube without loosing a right cube selection in one click?

Not a click, but you can mouse over the left cube and hit the “L” key.

But yeah, most apps have this on double click on a face when in faces mode.
So maybe it’s just a matter of changing the keymap??
