Overview
OpenSteer provides convenience methods for double-clicking and right-clicking elements. These are shortcuts for using the main click() method with specific options.
dblclick()
Double-click an element. Equivalent to click({ ..., clickCount: 2 }).
await opensteer.dblclick(options: ClickOptions): Promise<ActionResult>
Same options as click() - supports description, element, selector, and other click options
Examples
Double-click to select text
await opensteer.dblclick({ description: 'filename' })
Double-click with element counter
await opensteer.snapshot({ mode: 'action' })
await opensteer.dblclick({ element: 7 })
Double-click with selector
await opensteer.dblclick({ selector: '.editable-cell' })
rightclick()
Right-click an element to open context menu. Equivalent to click({ ..., button: 'right' }).
await opensteer.rightclick(options: ClickOptions): Promise<ActionResult>
Same options as click() - supports description, element, selector, and other click options
Examples
await opensteer.rightclick({ description: 'image' })
// Select menu option
await opensteer.click({ description: 'Save image as' })
Right-click with element counter
await opensteer.snapshot({ mode: 'action' })
await opensteer.rightclick({ element: 12 })
Right-click in editor
await opensteer.rightclick({ selector: '.code-editor' })
await opensteer.click({ description: 'format document' })
Comparison with click()
These methods are pure convenience wrappers:
// These are equivalent:
await opensteer.dblclick({ description: 'word' })
await opensteer.click({ description: 'word', clickCount: 2 })
// These are equivalent:
await opensteer.rightclick({ description: 'file' })
await opensteer.click({ description: 'file', button: 'right' })
Common patterns
Text selection
// Double-click to select word
await opensteer.dblclick({ description: 'paragraph' })
// Copy selected text (Ctrl+C / Cmd+C)
await opensteer.pressKey('Control+c')
// Right-click element
await opensteer.rightclick({ description: 'table row' })
// Wait for menu to appear
await opensteer.waitForText('Delete row')
// Click menu option
await opensteer.click({ description: 'Delete row' })
// Confirm deletion
await opensteer.click({ description: 'Confirm' })
File operations
// Right-click file in file manager
await opensteer.rightclick({ description: 'document.pdf' })
// Open with specific application
await opensteer.click({ description: 'Open with' })
await opensteer.click({ description: 'Adobe Reader' })
Canvas/diagram editing
// Double-click to edit
await opensteer.dblclick({ description: 'text box' })
// Type new content
await opensteer.type('Updated text')
// Click outside to finish editing
await opensteer.click({ description: 'canvas background' })
