<!-- Generated from double-click.mdx. DO NOT EDIT. -->

Overview

The doubleClick() method does a double-click action on an element. You can call it on an Element instance. Or you can use it with a selector.

Syntax

// Double-click on an element
await element.doubleClick();

// Double-click using a selector
await ai.doubleClick('selector');

Parameters

When called on an Element, no parameters are required.

When called directly on the AI client:

Parameter	Type	Description
selector	string	The selector describing the element to double-click

Returns

It returns a Promise<void>. The promise resolves when the double-click action completes.

Examples

Double-Click on Found Element

const fileItem = await ai.find('README.md file');
await fileItem.doubleClick();

Direct Double-Click with Selector

await ai.doubleClick('README.md in the file list');

  await ai.doubleClick('package.json in the file explorer');
  
  // Verify the file opened
  const editor = await ai.find('text editor showing package.json');
