Is there a gesture to simulate double click in Safari?

I have a web app at work that requires double clicks in a browser to open content (digital asset management - Canto Cumulus). I was excited to come in to work & browse images, but viewing categories requires a double click on the category name, and obviously, all that does is zoom in/out the browser page!
Does anyone know if there's a way to simulate a double click in Safari? I've tried holding 2 fingers on the screen while double clicking with a third - combos like that - nothing works.
Britt

yeah I am starting to believe Safari doesn't recognize these items as true html links - this app's whole web UI is heavily scripted with javascript & stuff - even in IE on PC there is no indication of it having a link - I might be out of luck on this - I have contacted the developer to see if I can somehow get it to work with a single click

How Can I Simulate Double-Clicking A File To Open It In The Default App Without Installing Default App?

I have an app written with Visual Studio 2013. The app has code for opening a file using the standard OpenFileDialog and also has code (AutoOpenFile()) for opening a file when a user double-clicks on a file that is handled by the app. I have not yet created
an installer for the app, so I won't be able to test it's AutoOpenFile() code...unless there is a way to simulate the process of auto-opening the double-clicked file without actually installing the app on my PC. Anyone?

Thanks for your reply, Wyck. I already have the necessary code in my app for opening a file when I double-click on it. The problem is that the app is not currently installed on my PC. Until I do install it, is there a way I can test-run that code
by double-clicking on an associated file?
You lost me at: you want to test-run code that is not on your PC.
O_o
You want to double-click a file, and then...what do you want to have happen? You want to run...something...that is not on your PC??
The "simulation" is to launch your app from the command line and pass in the name of the file you wanted to simulate a "double-click" of.
Regardless, you cannot get the shell to have a double-click of a file cause your application to launch unless you modify the registry to do so. (This is tantamount to "install" to me.)
In the spirit of continuing to be helpful, though, I'll assume that this is what you want to do and I'll show you how to get it done with the least amount of tampering with your registry.
Here are minimally invasive registry modifications you need to make to get it to launch a program when you double-click your file. It's pretty small.
EXAMPLE ONLY:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wyck]
@="Wyck.Document"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wyck.Document\shell\open\command]
@="c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe \"%1\""
[You have to save the above with your appropriate modifications to a file with the
.reg extension (e.g.: test.reg) and then you'll have to double-click the test.reg file to "merge" these settings into your registry.]
The example above registers a file extension called .wyck and assigns a completely arbitrary class name to it called
Wyck.Document.
Then it associates a shell open command with the Wyck.Document class that causes
notepad.exe to be passed the filename of the file you double-clicked (that's what the
%1 does). You are welcome to replace all the specific names with your own extensions and class names and replace notepad.exe with the path to your (test) executable.
This executable will be launched, but not with a debugger attached. To facilitate debugging it, you'll want to temporarily add some code to your program to pause when the program launches, possibly by showing a message box right at the very beginning
of your main function that says "attach debugger now" so that you can attach a debugger to the process that was started by the shell, and then dismiss the message box and continue debugging.
When you are done with your testing, you can simply manually delete those two registry keys using
regedit.

Is there a way to change double-click to single-click?

My dad has trouble double-clicking on folders. He recently got an iMac, and he's used to the single-click option on Windows. Is there a way to set up single-click on Mac OS X?

The lack of single click mode this is the most glaring, problem that the mac has, it globally affects everything you do. Macs are great mostly because they are "dumbed down" but lets face it there are some qualities that are missing because the OS development has not been any comparison to windows. Macs have only had a two button mouse for a couple of years! If you are a light user of email, photos, etc (most of us) you will say whats all the complaining about? ..but if you use your mac for real work & know the advantages of single click mode, it is a nightmare. A person has to know ALL the adavantages to single click mode to appreciate what I am saying.

Why do ALL my bookmarks open when I double click the Safari Icon!?!?

Have I caused this or is it malfunctioning? And then I usually have to force close it because Option+X on the tab is not working for such a situation most of the time.

I still have not found a solution for this...

Double-click and trackpad

right now, i enable double-click to drag any window in OSX
so if i double-click on the window title, it should allow me to drag the window, but instead it miminize it, so what is the correct way of double-click and drag?
btw, is there way i can simulate middle-click using trackpad?

well
of course i did check that before making this post
but i just can't get the dragging to work with double-tap
plus there is no middle-click simulation
is there any hack to simulate middle-click on trackpad?

30EA1 /2.*: Double-clicking objects in the navigator tree

Hi,
There is an inconsistency in double-clicking objects in the navigator tree:
When Preferences - Database - ObjectViewer - Open Objects on Single Click is checked, double-clicking e.g. a table in the navigator will still open it the same way as single-clicking it.
However, when Preferences - Database - ObjectViewer - Open Objects on Single Click is not checked, double-clicking the table in the navigator will open it, and expand the columns. The latter is quite irritating, especially on large tables.
Can this be bugged, so double-clicking the table in the navigator will just open it?
Thanks,
K.

The node is expanded on double click irrespective of what the preferenceIs this a typo or does it really expand always for you? For me it only expands with "single click objects" disabled.
windows explorer also does the sameYes, and I'd even say that's the desired behaviour, especially since it's the only action taken.
Common sense and standards are against taking 2 different actions at the same time. One should override the other.
Ideally, double click with "single click objects" disabled would just open the object, and double click with "single click objects" enabled could expand the node as in the Windows Explorer (but doesn't have to).
So that's almost completely the other way around as we get it now.
Thanks,
K.

Double Click on Magic Mouse No Longer Works after 10.9.1 Mavericks Upgrade

I just recently updated to Mavericks 10.9.1 and once the computer restarted, I noticed that double-click on my Magic Mouse no longer worked. I searched the forum and couldn't find anyone experiencing this. I also went into System Preferences --> Mouse but there is nothing about enabling double-click or adjusting double-click speed on there.
Would appreciate if someone were able to help me solve this. Thanks!

Try resetting the PRAM.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Problem w/"combo boxes" cause the user to double click for the dropdown menu, but not for everyone.

I have created a form with Adobe Acrobad Pro 9.
There are a few "drop-down" boxes for people to choose options from. I created them with the "Combo box" option. They work perfectly fine on my laptop (Lenovo T500 windows 7, with all updates up to date.) I sent the file to another exact same computer and that's when the problem came up. When you click on the drop-down, the list will quickly appear and then disappear. Then if you click it again it will stay open so you can choose your option. However this only happens on "some" computers but not everyone's. I emailed the exact same form out to other people in my office and they do not have any problems with the form. There is no need to double click the drop down, it will just open up properly for them.
Has anyone come across this? And if so, is there maybe a setting on these specific laptops that is preventing the "combo box" to not work properly? I need to use this specific laptop as a "Kiosk" like a "check out" station for users to fill out the form to check out equipment. I will be running in Reader so people can not make changes to the form. (both the Acrobat Pro 9 version and the (most up to date) Reader version of the PDF form does the same "double-click" problem) I need a date drop down and an equipment type drop down.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks !

I've got this kind of problem with a form of mine (designed with LCD) :
- combo boxes with font-color changing event handlers on :enter
- on Acrobat 9 Pro : no problem
- on Reader 8.3 :
- first click seems to execute the event handler but stops the combo's opening
- second click does open the combo
Do you have event handlers on combo:enter ?
Could the difference between comps where it works and comps where it doesn't be Acrobat's version ?

The double click is not working so cannot navigate. Do you think this is a fault or have the setting been changed

I am new to apple and found that the double click on my MacBook air is not working so stuck on one screen and can not move. Is there another way other than double clicking to move between screens? Do you think this is a fault or just that the settings have been changed
Thank you

It is probably set too fast or too slow. Go to System Preferences from the Apple menu. Click on trackpad and adjust the double-click speed here.

Can a program a double click event for a button in Flash Catalyst?

I currently have a button programed in FC with a single click. I would like the exact same behavior to happen whether there is a single or double click on the same button.
Is there a way to do this in FC? If not can I pull it into another program to edit the code?
Thank you!
Sarah

Thanks for letting me know.
Unfortunatly it looks like I can't upgrade unless I upgrade my whole suite, which is a bummer. We just spent a small fortune on upgrading everyone from CS3 - SC5. I will have to check with our account rep, but I doubt I can get another software update approved this year. Maybe next.
Thanks again Chirs!

Turn Off Double-Click to Close?

Is there any way to turn off the 'Double-Click to Close' functionality for creating selections (such as a Polygon selection)?
I am making complex selections and accidentally double-clicking with my Wacom pen and it closes the selection when I don't want it to. I have tried setting the Wacom pen preferences for Photoshop but have been unable to affect this issue there. Obviously, I can continue to add to selections, but the premature closing frequently ends up with wacked shaped selection which I must do more work to cleanup. If I could turn off the PS double-click to close functionality it would fix this problem.
Thanks!
Mike

Thanks for the ideas folks. I guess it's a wish for the future then.
I like the Polygon Lasso tool... just wish the double-click to close could be turned off (I am far faster tracing areas with the Polygon Lasso tool than futzing with the Magnetic Lasso tool... but the rapid fire use of the Polygon tool is triggering the double-click to close action).
In the Wacom control panel, there is a setting for Double-Click Distance, but turning it to OFF had no effect. Also setting the Mouse settings double-click speed made no difference... I am still triggering the double-click to close.
In any event, I'll work around the issue.
Thanks again.
Mike

Is there a way to simulate a mouse click anywhere on a screen in Dictate ?

I'm using Dictate because of hand problems. Unfortunately, it does not seem to have the ability as supplied to simulate mouse clicks anywhere on the screen as Dragon Naturally Speaking does on the Windows side.( I do not mean by this the ability to select an item in the menu, which It does have the built in ability to do.) It can, however, so I read, be scripted to do a lot of things. Is there an Applescript out there that would allow for the simulation of mouse clicks anywhere on the screen (as opposed to just on a UI item)?

Platform: 2.2 gHz iMac using Mac OS X 10.5.5; Dictate v. 1.2.1 Build
Okay, so, here, after a great deal of research, is a procedure for implementing a single mouse click anywhere on the screen. Since it’s a procedure, I’m detailing each step.
!. Download the scripting addition (sometimes known as an OSAX) xTool.sax from: http://lestang.org/osax/XTool/XTool-2.0.dmg.tgz. You will have to decompress the file (StuffIt) and double-click it to get it to unfold into a .dmg (disk image) file. In this file you will find the file Xtool.osax. Drag it into your MacHD (or whatever the name of your topmost volume is)/library/ScriptingAdditions (no spaces in the name) folder. The purpose of this is to place it into a folder where Applescript is expecting to find scripting additions. In other words, it’s hard-coded and you can’t just drop it anywhere because Applescript may not find it. Also, there may be more than one Library folder in other directories. Under 10.5.5. which I’m running, I can tell you it works where I placed it.
The effect all of this has is that when you create your script in Dictate’s New Commands window (Script Editor), Dictate will know what the commands “click mouse’ and “position of the mouse” mean. These are not standard Applsecript commands but are additions, hence the name Scripting Additions.
2. Start Dictate and in the File drop-down select New Command. This will take you to a window with a pane on the left with names such as Applications, Global, and several others. Click on Global (so that the command will be recognized no matter what application your are in). To the right of the pane you will see a number of commands listed by name and, underneath, a (very small) “+” (and a minus sign and a small icon). Ignore everything but the “+”. Click on the “+”.
Below several boxes will appear: Command, Description, Context, Type.
In Command Name type in the name you want Dictate to recognize to do the click. (I call mine Mouse click.) In Description you can type something like Single-clciks the mouse. In the Context drop-down make sure to select Global. In the Type drop-down, select Applescript.
Paste the following into Text Edit (orTexEdit Plus,if you have that):
click mouse {(position of the mouse), [1]}
For reasons unknown to me, you can’t just select that text, copy, and paste it into Dictate’s Script Editor winodw. You will have to select it in Text Edit and drag it into the Source text box.
Click on the Compile button at the left bottom. After it finishes compiling (a matter of seconds if everything is normal), click on the Run button with your mouse. If all has gone well, you will very likely see the Run button get pressed repeatedly. Take your mouse off the button so it stops blinking like mad. (The Mouse click Appplescript is repeatedly looking at the position it find itself and clicking again, and again.)
While your mileage may vary, I have been able to simulate single mouse-click using this workaround.
So far, I have not been able to simulate a double-click reliably. There is, I believe, an issue with the amount of time between the two clicks (a parameter of the click mouse command above which I did not go into here). For anyone out there who wants to work on that, I would be glad to hear your results. I’ve tried values up to 2000 in the DELAY parameter after the TIMES parm. Here is what the dictionary shows for this command.
click mouse?v
click mouse [point] : where to do the mouse click
[times integer] : how many times you want to clik the mouse
[delay integer] : delay between two mouse clicks
[using primary button/secondary button/middle button] : which mouse button
If I get this to work I will let my fellow sufferers know.
Thanks to Hiroto and Andrew99 in particular for their help.

Trackpad gestures to double-click/drag to select whole words?

Using a mouse in a TextEdit document, I can double-click a word to select it at once. Double-click/drag alters the selection word-at-a-time. Similarly, triple- and quadruple- clicks might have other handy functions.
What trackpad gestures allow me to do the same word-at-a-time selection?

D'oh! There are mouse buttons in the lower left and right corners of the Magic Pad! So to word-at-a-time select (with the right hand), use the thumb to click-then-hold the lower left mouse button, and the index finger to adjust the selection.

The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window. I need this feature. Is there another way? You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.

Others have commented on this too. It seems to be one of the 'improvements' of the newer version you are supposed to embrace with joy as an exciting new development. You can send feedback to Apple but realize you may be perceived as standing in the path of progress.
