# Double Tap

Double Tap sends two quick clicks or taps to an [Element](/elements/creating-elements.md) or screen position. Use it for controls that respond to a double click, such as opening a file or zooming a map tile.

## When to use it

* Open an item that requires a double click in the desktop browser.
* Trigger a mobile gesture mapped to a double tap on a control.
* Prefer [Touch](/test-steps/action/touch.md) for a single click. Use **Mode Event** when an overlay blocks Area mode.
