- Tap Interval
Tap Interval, measured in milliseconds, refers to the maximum amount of time that can elapse between each consecutive tap in a double-tap or triple-tap gesture. In this way, Tap Interval is very similar to double-click speed on a computer. For example, if Tap Interval is set to 100 milliseconds, a second tap must land within 100 milliseconds of the first tap for it to be successfully recognized as a double-tap gesture.
- Hover Period
Hover Period is also measured in milliseconds. Hover Period determines the amount of time required to touch the screen, without clicking it, for a hover event. For example, if this is set to 500 milliseconds, the required time to touch the screen is 500 milliseconds before it is recognized as a hover event.
