Currently the Single-Click is by definition can only be held down for a maximum of N ms and then after that window the single click is cancelled. I notice many people clicking slowly in the beginning an then clicking even slower was a response to it not responding... once learned, the single click is not too tough for most, but could be a little prohibitive for older and younger fingers. One thought is that the single click can fire on release up until long press is activated. This way a single click gets a little bit of special treatment and is more difficult to mess up.

One initial concern is doesn’t this open the window for drawn out double... multi clicks. This is less of a real world concern because holding a long down, then coming up and down again within the short multi click period is a very difficult action to perform.

In the beginning, I thought holding a little long is a nice way to cancel a click like a dragging outside of a button, but in practice I don’t know if anyone ever has needed to cancel a click or thought to cancel a click in this way.
