double-click
<operating system> Two clicks of a {mouse} button made in
rapid succession without moving the mouse. A double-click
often combines the actions of selecting, and then activating
an object in a {GUI}, e.g. selecting and opening a document.
Some {text editors} use double-click to select the word under
the {mouse pointer}.
When used as a verb it is often written as two words with a
space instead of a hyphen.
