unclick

Release the button

To unclick is to release a mouse button after clicking, or to click again to deselect or undo a previous selection: Unclick the checkbox to disable notifications.

The word appears mainly in software instructions and casual tech talk.

It can also describe reversing any click-based action: I accidentally unclicked the link before the page loaded.
