Tap event fires together with doubletap event

[yairEO]

This should never ever happen. only one event at a time. most people put 2 different events on an object, and the UX will get crazy when the user double tap to do one action and the single-tap event also gets fired and does the second thing, which wasn't intended to happen at all.

Theoretically, I totally agree with you.

But this would involve adding a delay to the tap event in order to check if a second one is fired (this is why there is a default 300ms delay in touch enabled browsers). It would defeat the main purpose of Finger: kill this 300ms delay.

If you do want tap and doubletap on the same element, then just use the standard click event instead of tap :)

I've written a jQuery special event for this purpose: https://github.com/yairEO/touchy

What would be awesome is if Finger knows that BOTH tap and doubletap are being listened for on an element, it retains the 300ms delay, but when ONLY tap is being used, skip the 300ms delay.

@tlhunter This is an edge case involving too much code, without mentioning that some users may want another behaviour. It's out of Finger's scope. In this kind of scenario, I would advice to handle this yourself as you have all you need to do so.
