A recorded double-click can open a file, project, or list item, but it is reliable only when that item remains under the same cursor position.
Capture the natural gesture
Record the double-click at normal speed and replay it from the same starting screen.
Test on a harmless target
With MacroLoop, start recording immediately before the double-click, include the next safe step if needed, and stop once the result appears. Test against a duplicate file or non-production item first.
Prefer file-aware tools for changing lists
Finder sorting, newly added files, and responsive lists can move the target. For large file batches, a path-based Finder action or Shortcuts workflow is more dependable.
THE TAKEAWAY
Record a double-click only when the target remains visually fixed.
