+ + + +&Mike.McBride; &Mike.McBride.mail; + + + +2005-12-21 +3.01.00 + + +KDE +KControl +accessibility + + + + +Accessibility + + +Introduction + +This module is designed to help users who have difficulty hearing +audible cues, or who have difficulty using a keyboard. + + +The module is divided into two tabs: Bell and Keyboard. + + + +<guilabel>Bell</guilabel> + + +This panel is divided into an Audible Bell section +and a Visible Bell section. + + + +The top check box labeled Use System Bell, determines +whether the normal System bell rings. If this option is disabled, the +System bell will be silenced. + + + +The next check box down can be used to play a different sound whenever +the system bell is triggered. To activate, place a mark in the check +box labeled Use customized bell, and enter the +complete pathname to the sound file in the text box labeled +Sound to Play. If you want, you can select the +Browse button to navigate through your filesystem +to find the exact file. + + + +For those users who have difficulty hearing the System bell, or those +users who have a silent computer, &kde; offers the visible bell. This +provides a visual signal (inverting the screen or flashing a color +across it) when the system bell would normally sound. + + + +To use the visible bell, first place a mark in the check box labeled +Use visible bell. + + + +You can then select between Invert screen, or +Flash screen. If you select Invert +screen, all colors on the screen will be reversed. If you +choose Flash screen, you can choose the color by +clicking the button to the right of the Flash +screen selection. + + + +The slider bar can be used to adjust the duration of the visible +bell. The default value is 500ms, or half a second. + + + + + +<guilabel>Keyboard</guilabel> + +There are three sections to this panel. + + + +Use Sticky Keys + + +If this option is enabled, you can press and release the &Shift;, +&Alt; or &Ctrl; keys, and then press another key to get a key combo +(example: &Ctrl; &Alt; +Del could be done with &Ctrl; then &Alt; +then Del). + + + +Also in this section is a check box labeled Lock Sticky +Keys. If this check box is enabled, the &Alt;, &Ctrl; +and &Shift; keys stay selected until you +de-selected them. + + + +As an example: + + + +With Lock Sticky Keys disabled: + +If you press the &Shift; key then press the +F key, the computer interprets this as &Shift;F. Now if you +type a P, the computer interprets this as the letter p +(no shift). + + + + + +With Lock Sticky Keys enabled: + + +If you press the &Shift; key twice then press the F key, +the computer interprets this as &Shift;F. Now if you +type a p, the computer interprets this as the letter P +(&Shift;P). To +de-select the &Shift; key, press it again. + + + + + + + + +Slow keys + + +If this option is enabled, you must hold the key down for a +specified length of time (adjustable with the slider) before the +keystroke will be accepted. This helps prevent accidental key strokes. + + + + + +Bounce keys + + +If this option is enabled, you must wait for a specified length of time +(configurable with the slider) before the next key press can be +accepted. This prevents accidental multiple key strokes. + + + + + + + + + + + +
