why does no website or web app use double-click ever? is it a GUI feature too advanced to implement in a web platform? or is it old technology that we realized doesn't really work? it was really big in the 90s, but seems to have disappeared completely

I can't remember when I last double clicked on the internet. Is this some pre web2.0 autism
double click = select word
I think because the only action you most basic action taken on the web is to click to open a link and the rest of the complexity is in context menus.
I've really only used it on desktop icons to open a file or in some games to pick up loot. Usually its because sometimes you want to single click to select an icon and then take an action on it using a keyboard shortcut or menu item. In some sense this model still exists like said.
>double click = select word
triple click = select line or sentence
double/triple click & drag = select words/paragraphs
>double/triple click & drag = select words/paragraphs
wow, didnt know
i mean desktop applications used to have double click, now that applications have been replaced by web-apps they don't
did we lose functionality or just find better ways to do things?
>i mean desktop applications used to have double click
show me one because I don't remember this.
Solitaire for automatically sending a card to the stack without having to drag it
That's covered by right click now, which is easier.
Windows file explorer for opening files or folders
Thats how every window was closed in win 3.1. You double clicked on the top left
This still works btw, double click on the icon instead
this, I have never doubled clicked anything in a web browser, and I remember 9/11
No, OP is moronic
>it was really big in the 90s,
>web
No it wasn't
it was big in desktop applications, which nowadays have been transformed into web apps
it wasn't big IN desktop software.
it was big to launch shortcuts.
It still is
it was big in any software that had lists or items, that you could select or apply something to them, like CAD, music players, file browsers, database applications, spreadsheets, map applications, ..., basically everything?
Confirming and "apply" buttons disappeared from UIs because zoomers and iToddlers are too moronic for it. Now changes are directly made permanent.
makes sense, nowadays even Save buttons are too complicated for 99% of the users, so i guess the users are just dumber to be able to work a different levels nowadays, can only have 1 action for each item
>nowadays even Save buttons are too complicated for 99% of the users,
What is this nonsense you're spewing.
You sound like some child that thinks they're smarter than all the other children.
Save buttons are the same as they ever were.
>fCAD, musiic players, file browsers, database applications, spreadsheets, map applications
>basically everything?
That's not everything though, that's hardly anything.
Start naming some actual software, or stfu
zoom zoom
Tell me how save buttons are different and how they
> are too complicated for 99% of the users
how is that a web app?
that's a desktop application, normies haven't used those for years
Sorry to burst your special little bubble but most PC users are normies who use desktop applications
top kek, that made me laugh
8/10
On god what is that thing moving? Fr fr
Put an undo button pop-up and this is just better UX, full stop.
the web has never had double click, its always been a desktop thing. its going away now because everything, even desktop applications, are moving to web technologies
I've never thought about this, but people are making good points in this thread, there really is no double click on the web.
That said lots of CAD software does use double click.
Does anyone else do the one-click menu item selection trick where you click something on a menu and keep holding down the mouse button, hover over the option you want and then release the mouse button to select it? Like JavaScript mousedown and mouseup
>all of these newbies that never played flash games
baka
all these IQfy c**ts that think gayming is all computers are used for.
My parents always double-click on the Internet because they think that's how it supposed work since opening the browser or almost anything else on the computer does

life was better when bosses didn't even know how to start a computer
I still remember some people having hard time with learning double click back in mid 90's. There's still an option (I've met some people actually using it) to disable it in file explorer navigation in Windows. Those very same people were also double clicking HTML links in then new world of WWW. Good times.

Draw dot io or now diagrams dot net still have a lot of double click feature
Anyone uses this?
No.
I download thouhou FLACs from there.
Never double-clicked a video to make it full screen? Or on mobile, double-tap to fast-forward?
>try to fastforwad
>click by mistake link to a new video
>click back
>youtube can't remember position in the video
anymore
it just makes things worse tbh
i have to click twice to open up a thread from the catalog on my iphone, does that count op
Using the Tree tabs addon: double-click on empty space below tabs open new tab. Comfy

1) the web is platform agnostic
2) until very, very recently there was nothing to double click, web sites were physically incapable of manipulating a selectable object
just saying, the 90s were the golden age of GUIs and we will never go back
i hope you mean the simple guis, not the "aesthetic" xp trash lol
what you mean simple GUIs? i mean applications that did complex things
Everyone just got used to single clicking on the web, because that's what you needed to visit a link or submit a form.
