This looks like a perfectly good API. (I'll have to see if it gives the same values I ended up using...)

-clickCount tells you whether you have a single-, double-, triple-, or quadruple-click on your hands. Sticky testing means comparing a mouse-up event to the mouse-down before it.

You must open the menu when

  • the timeout has elapsed without the mouse-up arriving (show menu by hold down), or
  • the mouse-up is within the max distance of the mouse-down (show menu by click).

That's the point of the mouse panel in system preferences, right? Or am I misunderstanding you. I use NSEvent's -clickCount.
