In the Project View click on the "gear" icon and enable the Open Files with Single Click option:

Open Files with Single Click

Use Ctrl+Q for Quick JavaDoc and Ctrl+Shift+I for the declaration pop-up.

Go to Preferences and turn on Enable preview tab, that will enable Open Files with Single Click for all projects.

Javadoc opens with Ctrl+Q

There's no declaration view per se, however, you probably will be satisfied with Ctrl+Shift+I shortcut for quick lookup.

Don't know of any ways to configure it to open files on single clicks. Somehow, if you get used to the shortcuts, you skip using mouse very much. For instance, Alt+Home will bring the navigation bar up and you can move with arrows and open the file with Enter. Or just use some other shortcuts like Ctrl+N or Ctrl+E depending on the context.
