I was curious and digged deeper into this... "slow keys" is part of the X11 XKB-protocol (details in XKBproto.pdf or XkbGetSlowKeysDelay(3) man page; in the ports there is ports/x11/xkbset utility and with this one can set the "Slowkeys acceptance delay" (time in ms the X server awaits a key is hold down before sending out the keypress event) or to switch it off again: $ xkbset slowkeys 500 # to switch in on and set 500ms delay $ xkbset -slowkeys # to switch it off again HIH matthias -- Matthias Apitz e <guru@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
