Control how quickly you need to press the mouse button a second time
to double-click.
Adjust the double-click speed
Double-clicking only happens when you press the mouse button twice
quickly enough. If the second press is too long after the first, you’ll
just get two separate clicks, not a double click. If you have difficulty
pressing the mouse button quickly, you should increase the timeout.
-
Open the Activities
overview and start typing Universal Access.
-
Click Universal Access to open the panel.
-
Under Pointing & Clicking, adjust the
Double-Click Delay slider to a value you find comfortable.
If your mouse double-clicks when you want it to single-click even though
you have increased the double-click timeout, your mouse may be faulty. Try
plugging a different mouse into your computer and see if that works properly.
Alternatively, plug your mouse into a different computer and see if it still
has the same problem.
This setting will affect both your mouse and touchpad, as well as any
other pointing device.
