you normally tap it with your finger or the stylus. However,
to open the following items, you must tap them twice.

folder list in Messaging

already highlighted. To open the highlighted item,
tap it once.

view type

videos view in Gallery.
If you tap a file or similar item once, it is not opened, it
becomes highlighted. To see the options available for the
