    <desc>Control how quickly you need to press the mouse button a second time
    to double-click.</desc>
  </info>

  <title>Adjust the double-click speed</title>

  <p>Double-clicking only happens when you press the mouse button twice
  quickly enough. If the second press is too long after the first, you’ll
  just get two separate clicks, not a double click. If you have difficulty
  pressing the mouse button quickly, you should increase the timeout.</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> 
      overview and start typing <gui>Accessibility</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click <gui>Accessibility</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select the <gui>Pointing &amp; Clicking</gui> section to open it.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Adjust the <gui>Double-Click Delay</gui> slider to a value you find comfortable.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>If your mouse double-clicks when you want it to single-click even though
  you have increased the double-click timeout, your mouse may be faulty. Try
  plugging a different mouse into your computer and see if that works properly.
  Alternatively, plug your mouse into a different computer and see if it still
  has the same problem.</p>

  <note>
    <p>This setting will affect both your mouse and touchpad, as well as any
    other pointing device.</p>
