Ignore quickly-repeated key presses of the same key.
Turn on bounce keys
Turn on bounce keys 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.
-
Open the Activities
overview and start typing Settings.
-
Click on Settings.
-
Click Universal Access in the sidebar to open the panel.
-
Press Typing Assist (AccessX) in the Typing
section.
-
Switch the Bounce Keys switch to on.
Quickly turn bounce keys on and off
You can turn bounce keys on and off by clicking the
accessibility icon on the top bar and
selecting Bounce Keys. The accessibility icon is visible when
one or more settings have been enabled from the Universal Access
panel.
Use the Acceptance delay slider to change how long bounce keys
waits before it registers another key press after you pressed the key for the
first time. Select Beep when a key is rejected 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.
