While still investigating the problem when it occured in the laptop of my wife, I even saw in xev(1) that the keystrokes are delayed sent to the xev(1) client, i.e. the delay must be in X and not in KDE. I've checked the man page of xset(1) but only see the delay and rate of 'auto repeat', but no config value for delay of key itself.

Thanks matthias Hey Matthias, I'm afraid I've never looked into the mechanics behind the feature. Heck, I've never even used slow keys; I just know the feature exists and what little I told you before.

I checked this and by this way it is possible with just hiting enter in that box to switch to that mode. I asked my wife, and she did not denyed that it could have been happened this way. I said to her that she should read, understand and think before answering :-) Thanks for the hint matthias -- Matthias Apitz e g...@unixarea.de - w http://www.unixarea.de/ UNIX since V7 on PDP-11, UNIX on mainframe since ESER 1055 (IBM /370) UNIX on x86 since SVR4.2 UnixWare 2.1.2, FreeBSD since 2.2.5 ___ kde-freebsd mailing list kde-freebsd@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information

I believe it's possible to activate slow keys just by holding some keys for longer then normal.
