Introduction

•Double-clickingmeans to position the mouse pointer over the indicated target, then press and release the mouse button two times in rapid succession. This is commonly used to activate an object’s default operation, such as opening a window from an icon. Note that there is a distinction made between “click twice” and “double-click,” since “click twice” implies a slower motion.

•Pressing means to position the mouse pointer over the indicated target, then press and hold the mouse button until the described action is completed. It is often a pre-cursor to Drag operations.

•Dragging means to move the mouse pointer across the screen while holding the mouse button down. It is often used for drag-and-drop operations to copy information from one window of the screen into another, and to highlight editable text.
