double-click
Rapid mouse action
Double-click is to press a mouse button twice in quick succession, typically to open a file or launch a program: Double-click the icon to start the application.
The noun is the action itself: A double-click opens the folder.
The required speed distinguishes it from two separate clicks.
On touchscreens, double-tap serves the same function.
