Triple-click

A triple-click is the action of clicking a computer mouse button three times quickly without moving the mouse. Along with clicking and double-clicking, triple-clicking allows three different actions to be associated with the same mouse button. Criticism of the double-click mechanism is even more valid for triple-clicks. However, few applications assign critical actions to a triple click.

Adjusting speed

Adjusting speed of triple-click depends on the operating system:

• On Windows XP triple-clicking has the same time as double-click and changing the double-click setting affects triple-click behavior as well.
