How to detect double clicks?

[veniamin-ilmer]

I see there is a double click enum - https://docs.iced.rs/iced_core/mouse/click/enum.Kind.html#variant.Double

Yet, the mouse events seem quite limited, only detecting press and release - https://docs.iced.rs/iced_core/mouse/enum.Event.html

I have been messing with the mouse area widget on a fork, it might help you understand.

• It doesn't really work on touch input though.

This code doesn't seem to detect double clicks. I have my own custom widget which can detect clicks by observing mouse press then mouse release. The problem with a double click is it requires timing how long it look between each click. I would like to avoid writing that out if possible.

If you look at https://docs.iced.rs/src/iced_core/mouse/click.rs.html#64 it seems like there is already some functionality which attempts to time the duration between clicks to detect if it was a double click or not. But although this is part of the core code of iced, it seems like it is not tied to the mouse event for some reason.

If you run the tour example with debug you should be able to see the events.
