<title>Turn on Bounce Keys</title>

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

<p>Turn on <em>bounce keys</em> to ignore keypresses that are rapidly repeated. For example, if you have hand tremors which cause you to press a key multiple times when you only want to press it once, you should turn on bounce keys.</p>

<steps>
  <item><p>Click your name on the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>Click <gui>Universal Access</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>Select the <gui>Typing</gui> tab.</p></item>
  <item><p>Select <gui>Turn on accessibility features from the keyboard</gui>.</p></item>
  <item><p>Switch <gui>Bounce Keys</gui> on.</p></item>
</steps>

<note style="tip"><p>You can quickly turn this feature on and off
from the <link xref="a11y-icon">universal access menu</link>.</p></note>

<p>Use the <gui>Acceptance delay</gui> slider to change how long bounce keys waits before it registers another key press after you pressed the key for the first time. Select <gui>Beep when a key is rejected</gui> if you want the computer to make a sound each time it ignores a key press because it happened too soon after the previous key press.</p>
