Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP 10 SP2 - GNOME 08-05-2008 Manual page 97

Before you can modify any settings, you need to activate Enable Keyboard Accessibil-
ity Features at the top of the window.
On three tabs, you can then define various settings for keys:
Sticky Keys
Some keyboard shortcuts require that one key (a modifier key) is kept pressed
constantly (this applies to Alt , Ctrl , and Shift ) while the rest of the shortcut is typed.
When sticky keys are used, the system regards those keys as staying pressed after
being pressed once. To enable sticky keys, activate the appropriate check box. For
an audible feedback generated each time a modifier key is pressed, activate Beep
when the modifier is pressed. If Disable if two keys pressed together is selected,
the keys do not "stick" anymore when two keys are pressed simultaneously. The
system then assumes that the keyboard shortcut has been completely entered.
Repeat Keys
Activate Enable Repeat Keys to make settings with sliders for Delay and Speed.
This determines how long a key must be pressed for the automatic keyboard repeat
function to be activated and at what speed the characters are then typed.
Test the effect of the settings in the field at the bottom of the dialog. Select param-
eters that reflect your normal typing habits.
Slow Keys
To prevent accidental typing, switch to the Filters tab and activate Enable Slow
Keys. Set a minimum time limit that a key must be pressed and held before it is
recognized as valid input by the system. Also determine whether audible feedback
should be provided for keypress events, accepted keypresses, and the rejection of
a keypress.
Bounce Keys
To prevent double typing, activate Enable Bounce Keys on the Filters tab and set
a minimum time limit for accepting two subsequent keypress events of the same
key as the input of two individual characters. If desired, activate audible feedback
upon rejection of a keypress event.
Toggle Keys
If you activate Enable Toggle Keys, the system gives an audible feedback when a
keycap modifier key is pressed.
