d-clicking is double-clicking with left mouse button.

Direction depends upon which border of the cell is d-clicked.

The purpose is to quickly move up and down columns and forth and back across
rows.

You can disable it by Tools>Options>Edit. Uncheck "allow cell drag and drop".

Disabling that will also disable your ability to drag/copy cells which would be
a great disadvantage.

I would suggest you don't d-click on any cell borders.
