CEA "Left-click on line number" delay

[Evolve]

"Sticky Selection" and "Clicked item context menu" actions are instantaneous whereas
"Like white", "Selected Item(s) context menu" and "Run script" have delay which I believe to be a bug.

It waits for a possible dbl-click.

[Evolve]

That was my hypothesis, but why does it wait in one case and doesn't wait in the other one?
PS. It definitely shouldn't wait if "Double-click on line number" is "None".

[admin]

Yeah, I agree. I now think it should never wait. The user should know that on a dbl-click a single-click is processed first. The same happens in many places in the app.

Then it means if I have Sticky Selection on left click, I should revert the effect in the double-click event as if nothing happened.
How is it possible to invert the selection on a specified item by scripting?

SC selectitems, next beta...

I would call it unexpected
That doesn't happen in any software I use.
When I make a double click only actions assigned to a double click should fire.

If in File Explorer you double-click an unselected item, on the 1st click it gets selected, on the 2nd click it gets opened.

[Horst]

Yes, but there is nothing done automatically with this selection.

[admin]

Which other software has CEA? Do you see a better solution?

[Horst]

No other software has this, its a big plus of XY.
XY should wait the configured time for an double click before firing any action for a single click.

[Evolve]

But only if any action is assigned to a double click. If None is assigned as an action for a double click, there is no point of waiting and it will ruin my single click action again...

[Horst]

Of course only if double click actions are defined

[RalphM]

While I'm not really into these CEA things, please don't forget the standard single and dbl-click actions, which have been there long before CEA was created.

[Evolve]

Both solutions have pros and cons, the current one, for instance, allows to get both single click and double click actions w/o any delay (by undoing on double-click what was done on single click and then performing the double-click action).
