Double Click in MX Linux

[EmilianoZapata]

Hi,

I checked the Mouse and Touchpad setting but I could not find how to change feature of mouse into double click.
Is there someone who can help me about it?

Respects

The setting should be there.

To set your mouse to double click on XFCE 4.20, open the "Settings" application, navigate to "Mouse and Touchpad", and then adjust the "Double-click speed" slider to your desired sensitivity level; a faster setting will require a quicker second click to register as a double click.
Key steps:

Open Settings: Go to your applications menu and open "Settings".

Select Mouse and Touchpad: In the settings window, find the "Mouse and Touchpad" option and click on it.
Adjust Double-click Speed: Locate the "Double-click speed" slider and move it to the setting that suits your preference.

You also can use this command to get to some mouse settings.

Thank you for help but this did not solved my issue. I meant double click like in Microsoft. Two times clicking, not only one. One time clicking ruining use experience of system. They built a OS for people to use it, I hope developer see this error and change it.

......///......... Two times clicking, not only one. One time clicking ruining use experience of system. They built a OS for people to use it, I hope developer see this error and change it.

In the menu go to "Settings > MX Tweak", a window opens, go to the tab "Config Options", and uncheck both "Enable single-click ..."

It worked, I thank you so much my brother.

Most users who have come from a Unix-type background prefer single click as it is more commonly used.

I had always been used to double-clicking from Windows. A couple of years ago I decided to use single-click for a week to see if I could get used to it. For the first few days I cursed it many times, but after a week I got used to it. I would never go back to double-click now as single-click is so much faster.

I think double click is more for me.I used Microsoft for a long time so I can use computer better in double click. Single click is kind of ruining user experience for me.
