double click Last modified: Sunday, September 01, 1996

Tapping a mouse button twice in rapid succession. Note that the second click must immediately follow the first, otherwise the program will interpret them as two separate clicks rather than one double click. In Microsoft Windows and the Macintosh interface, you can use a double click to open files and applications. Both systems let you set the double-click speed (the longest acceptable interval between each click).
