  <title>Turn on bounce keys</title>

  <p>Turn on <em>bounce keys</em> to ignore key presses 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>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
      start typing <gui>Universal Access</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Click on <gui>Universal Access</gui> to open the panel.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Press <gui>Typing Assist (AccessX)</gui> in the <gui>Typing</gui>
      section.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Switch <gui>Bounce Keys</gui> to <gui>ON</gui>.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <note style="tip">
    <title>Quickly turn bounce keys on and off</title>
    <p>You can turn bounce keys on and off by clicking the
    <link xref="a11y-icon">accessibility icon</link> on the top bar and
    selecting <gui>Bounce Keys</gui>. The accessibility icon is visible when
    one or more settings have been enabled from the <gui>Universal Access</gui>
    panel.</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>
