Let me add a few comments. (I don't know if I am allowed to post to
the xorg-devel mailing list, so if I am not, maybe Peter could
forward this for me.)
First, my man page is horribly incomplete, but the command "xkbset
h" gives a rather comprehensive list of all the commands. I had
intended to include a lengthy description of how mousekeys can be
adjusted, as well as how the accessx feature works. There is a very
good and detailed description in the document
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/X11/XKBlib.ps, but it embedded in
the middle of the document, as this document is meant for
programmers, not users.
well, IMO xkbset itself is more for developers than users too, so I don't
worry too much about the man page being incomplete :)
it'll get fixed up over time, I guess.
Actually, a large number of the people who used xkbset used
"bouncekeys" because some Toshiba laptops would unexpectedly repeat
keys due to some mistiming issue with the hardware.
gnome can enable/disable bounce keys, so I usually refer users to use the
desktop environment's tools. it's easier and persistent. xkbset is like
xinput runtime-only and since server 1.7 at least, using commandline tools
doesn't
always have the results that users expect
Cheers,
Peter
Ah, yes, I got those emails before gnome had these features.
