How to add 2 addeventlisteners to work together (e.g.: run event on dblclick when mouse pointer is at left side of screen)

New to JavaScript, trying to figure out how to combine addEventListener events.

For example, I want to trigger something when I double-click the side of the screen, within 30 or 40 pixels.

I assume I need to combine these somehow:

How is that done? I'm also struggling to get that mouseover working even alone, if anyone cares to take a stab at it!

You don't need mouseover event listener to do that.

Method 1: First create 30-40pixel div element, with position:fixed. Then add double click event to that div element.

Method 2: Add doubleclick event to the document, read event.clientX (or event.screenX). if (event.clientX < 30), run what you want.

document.addEventListener("dblclick",function (event) { 
        if(event.clientX < 30 ) {
        // some logic
        }
})

Here is how you can listen for double click events and get the mouse x coordinate (which you can then use to check if it's within 30 or 40 pixels of the left side).

const elem = document.querySelector('body');
elem.addEventListener('dblclick', e => {
  console.log(e.clientX);
});
<div style="height: 500px;">
  Double click to log mouse x coordinate.
</div>
