I totally forgot the motor impaired, thanks for bringing it up. Also, with the advent of touch-interfaces, the single click becomes even more ubiquitous. > It's not universally recognised: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-click (search for "difficulties") > http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9710b.html (search for "double-click") > http://www.asktog.com/Bughouse/bhPandemic.html (search for "double") And thanks for the extra material, I did not even think of searching Nielsen’s stuff for it.
