<p>Turn on from the keyboard?! How do I turn these features on from
27
the keyboard then? Used to be there were odd shortcuts. I think
28
5x Shift turned one of them on. Fix for 3.2</p>

<p>Turn on <em>Slow Keys</em> if you would like there to be a delay between pressing a key and that letter being displayed on the screen. This means that you have to hold down each key you want to type for a little while before it appears. Use slow keys if you accidentally press several keys at a time when you type, or if you find it difficult to press the right key on the keyboard first time.</p>

<p>You can quickly turn Slow Keys on and off by clicking the <link xref="a11y-icon">accessibility
42
icon</link> on the top bar and selecting <gui>Slow Keys</gui>.</p>
45
<p>Use the <gui>Acceptance delay</gui> slider to control how long you have to
46
hold a key down for it to register.</p>
48
<p>You can have your computer make a sound when you press a key, when a key
49
press is accepted, or when a key press is rejected because you didn't hold
50
the key down long enough.</p>
