Stickykeys in KDE works as one would expect, and retains it's settings - but the status notification panel applet hasn't been ported to KDE4 yet. So you can use stickykeys but you can't tell what state they're in. Which is actually worse. Currently running Mint 6, which is basically a themed intrepid with a fancy menu - it uses the ubuntu repositories for all the important stuff, so the following should work on any (gnome+debian)ish system.
On my system, the following is is the only way I can find out what the actual gconf settings are - gconf-editor reports that stickykeys is enabled (it's not) and that two_key_off is off (it's on), whereas: gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/ | grep stickykeys gives me: stickykeys_modifier_beep = true stickykeys_enable = false stickykeys_two_key_off = true Here's the clever bit. Set the appropriate keys: gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard/stickykeys_two_key_off --type bool 0 gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard/stickykeys_enable --type bool 1 gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard/stickykeys_modifier_beep --type bool 0 grepping the output of the -R command, now, gives: stickykeys_modifier_beep = false stickykeys_enable = true stickykeys_two_key_off = false Which is right, and works like it says it should. (!) And it seems to stay working too. (!!) I haven't rebooted for a while, but I have logged out/in a bit. hope this helps someone. -- gnome sticky keys ignores "two keys pressed together" setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191181 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
