* *Event*: [Dropdown configuration setting](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/block-anatomy#dropdown) that allows you to choose from three options:
  1. Clicked: When the selected element is clicked.
  2. Double-Clicked: When the selected element is double-clicked.
  3. Right-Clicked: When the selected element is right-clicked.
  4. Key Pressed: When a key is pressed with the focus is inside the selected element.
* *Tasks*: a [Flow Parameter](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/block-anatomy#flow-parameters) where you connect blocks that specify what you want done when the event occurs. Use the [Action/Event Info](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/action-event-info) block to get more information about the event.
