I cannot record a double right-click, but have no problem recording a double left-click or double middle click. What am I doing wrong @Andreas_Hegenberg? Screen recording: https://youtu.be/q0XyhR9V2sI
When I double right click, BTT only records the first right click.
This is the mouse: Amazon.com
BTT v4.643
macOS Sonoma 14.5
Thanks!
right click is special due to its default context menu function. BTT currently can not do double-right-clicks
//edit, weird at least I thought so. However it seems to work fine here - currently running Sequoia beta though
When I first recorded a double right-click today it worked! But after I accidentally unassigned it, I am no longer able to record it again. I don't understand.
maybe you have already configured a trigger for single right-click? that might block any attempt to record a double-click. If so, disabling that should help
Thanks @Andreas_Hegenberg I have no single right-click triggers configured. Is there a way I can see if BTT is detecting the double right-click? Logs, diagnostics?
no I don't think so.
You could paste this json into BTT to add a double-right-click:

Thank you Andreas, pasting the json adds the trigger and action but it doesn't activate when I double right-click. Screen recording: https://youtu.be/iyzwa1SSKAs
in that case BTT really doesn't receive a double-click state from the system. Did you maybe change any system settings or settings related to your mouse?
Is it macOS that interprets single-click vs double-click and passes that to BTT, or does BTT monitor all mouse clicks and determine whether it's a single or double-click based on timing?
If I use Karabiner-EventViewer, it registers clicks from each mouse button. It calls my right-click button "button2" Screen Recording: https://youtu.be/2-5kgepdRfU
BTT uses the system provided clickstate that is calculated by macOS, it doesn’t track the click state itself
Thanks. I get the same result with both an Apple Magic Mouse and with a different USB mouse. None are able to detect and double-right click anymore. I'll continue to troubleshoot.
do you have karabiner elements running? maybe something is configured in there?
I also had that concern. I uninstalled Karabiner completely, rebooted, but still cannot detect a double right-click in BTT.
I've discovered something strange. BTT appears to be affecting my right-clicks despite no triggers configured. It modifies the right-click behavior in certain apps until I quit BTT.
Here is a quick demonstration screen recording: https://youtu.be/exnqX36TZv4
With BTT running, I attempt to right-click on a message (in Messages) to open the tab-back menu but nothing happens. As soon as I quit BTT, the normal right-click behavior returns.
possibly check in the „recently used“ section in BTT whether it is showing anything on right-click
Maybe you have s right click action in some conditional activation group or for specific apps?
FOUND IT!!!
This setting was enabled and was blocking me from using double right-click. Recently, I've been unable to get gestures working, so these right-click settings must have been competing with one another.
Once I unchecked it and restarted BTT, I was able to use double right-click as a trigger.
Thank you for all the help! I wish there was an easier way to find the conflicting settings, but we got it eventually.
oh yes, that would indeed conflict with double-right click 
glad you found it!
