<title>Turn on slow keys</title>
25
<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>

press is accepted, or when a key press is rejected because you didn't hold
48
the key down long enough.</p>
