一键三连
Like, coin and save in one tap
一键三连！Like, coin, save!
一键三连 means “one tap, three actions”. On Bilibili, a long press on the like button also gives the video a coin and saves it to your favorites.

What it means
The three actions are 点赞, “like”, 投币, “give a coin”, and 收藏, “save to favorites”. 三连, “the triple”, is all three together. 一键 means “one tap”.
The coin counts most. Users cannot make coins without limit, so a coin says more than a like, TMTPost explains.
How people use it
Outside Bilibili, 一键三连 means full support for anything: a friend’s post, a new song, a plan. TMTPost adds that new users who come from Douyin often trigger the triple by mistake, and a coin cannot be taken back.

Where it came from
Video makers on Bilibili ask viewers for 一键三连 at the end of their videos, the way YouTubers ask you to like and subscribe.
Sources do not agree on when the one-tap button arrived. A June 2019 explainer on Minnan Net already describes the long press and says the phrase was common in on-screen comments. A 2023 TMTPost article dates the first one-tap tool to 2020.
