    <desc>Control how quickly you need to press the mouse button
    a second time to double-click.</desc>
  </info>

<title>Adjust the double-click speed</title>

<p>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.</p>

<steps>
  <item><p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
  start typing <gui>Universal Access</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>Click on <gui>Universal Access</gui> to open the panel.</p></item>
  <item><p>Under <gui>Pointing &amp; Clicking</gui>, adjust the <gui>Double-click</gui>
  slider to a value you find comfortable.</p></item>
</steps>

<p>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.
</p>

<note><p>This setting will affect both your mouse and touchpad,
as well as any other pointing device.</p></note>
