Usually, the keys that are accidentally bumped are just hit for a very short period of time. The SlowKeys control helps filter these accidental bumps by telling the server to wait a specified period, called the .I SlowKeys acceptance delay, before delivering key events. If the key is released before this period elapses, no key events are generated. Users can then bump any number of keys on their way to the one they want without accidentally getting those characters. Once they have reached the key they want, they can then hold the desired key long enough for the computer to accept it. SlowKeys is a boolean control with one configurable attribute. When the SlowKeys control is active, the server reports the initial key press, subsequent acceptance or rejection, and release of any key to interested clients by sending an appropriate AccessXNotify event (see section 10.6.4). The server can generate XkbAccessXNotify events for some of the global keyboard controls. The detail field describes what AccessX event just occurred and can be any of the values in Table 1. The server can generate XkbAccessXNotify events for some of the global keyboard controls. The detail field describes what AccessX event just occurred and can be any of the values in Table 1. .TS c s l l l lw(4i). Table 1 AccessXNotify Events _ detail Reason _ XkbAXN_SKPress T{ A key was pressed when SlowKeys was enabled. T} XkbAXN_SKAccept T{ A key was accepted (held longer than the SlowKeys delay). T} XkbAXN_SKRelease T{ An accepted SlowKeys key was released. T} XkbAXN_SKReject T{ A key was rejected (released before the SlowKeys delay expired). T} XkbAXN_BKAccept T{ A key was accepted by BounceKeys. T} XkbAXN_BKReject T{ A key was rejected (pressed before the BounceKeys delay expired). T} XkbAXN_AXKWarning T{ AccessXKeys is about to turn on/off StickyKeys or BounceKeys. T} .TE The .I keycode field reports the keycode of the key for which the event occurred. If the action is related to .I SlowKeys, the .I slowKeysDelay field contains the current SlowKeys acceptance delay. If the action is related to BounceKeys, the .I debounceDelay field contains the current BounceKeys debounce delay. Selecting for AccessX Events To receive XkbAccessXNotify events under all possible conditions, use .I XkbSelectEvents and pass XkbAccesXNotifyMask in both .I bits_to_change and .I values_for_bits. To receive XkbStateNotify events only under certain conditions, use .I XkbSelectEventDetails using XkbAccessXNotify as the .I event_type and specifying the desired state changes in .I bits_to_change and .I values_for_bits using mask bits from Table 2. .TS c s s l l l l l lw(3i).
