As we have been using a mouse while using computers, we have been accustomed to right click and left click. The function of the right click is providing input while the function of the Right click is to open further options or more functions. With the advent of neo age touch sensitive smartphones, computers and tablets, the right click has been replaced by long press of a finger. In a touch device, it is not possible to provide separate buttons for right click and left click. Hence the demarcation has been made by different pressure level of the finger. If you press the finger for long, it will perform functions of right click. Usually, the default duration of the term ‘long’ is 300 ms. For older people and people who are not accustomed with long press, sometimes, the long press duration becomes too short. In that case, you can increase the duration of the key long press.
