<title>Turn on bounce keys</title>
33
Turn on <em>bounce keys</em> to ignore key presses that are rapidly
34
repeated. For example, if you have hand tremors which cause you to press a
35
key multiple times when you only want to press it once, you should turn on
42
Click the icon at the very right of the <gui>menu bar</gui> and
43
select <gui>System Settings</gui>.
48
Open <gui>Universal Access</gui> and select the <gui>Typing</gui>
54
Switch <gui>Bounce Keys</gui> on.
60
Use the <gui>Acceptance delay</gui> slider to change how long bounce keys
61
waits before it registers another key press after you pressed the key for
62
the first time. Select <gui>Beep when a key is rejected</gui> if you want
63
the computer to make a sound each time it ignores a key press because it
64
happened too soon after the previous key press.
