Help Contents Back << >> ADJUSTING DOUBLE-CLICK Double-clicking with the pen tip can be made easier by expanding the tap area that accepts a double-click (the double-click distance) and reducing the speed required to perform a double-click. This can be set in the DOUBLE-CLICK tab. Because a large double-click distance may adversely affect your brushstrokes in some drawing applications, Wacom recommends setting a small double-click distance and using the upper side switch (Windows) or lower side switch (Macintosh) to double-click. Use custom double-click settings when checked. Note: DOUBLE-CLICK ASSIST can be enabled for some applications and disabled for others. See Working with ApplicationSpecific Settings for more information. Enter a number from 1 to 25 pixels or click the up and down arrows to increase or decrease double-click distance. Drag the slider to change the double-click speed. A slower speed makes double-clicking easier. Double-click on the target to test your settings before applying them.
