I'm not sure why we have a "Turn on accessibility features from the keyboard" checkbox. It's kind of painful to check it, and then enable via the GtkSwitch the accessibility feature: it's an unneeded step.

Surely, we can drop it and if automatically do what it was linked to when any of the three switches below is set to On?

See screenshot.

I think the sensitivity of that box is wrong actually.

"Turn on accessibility features from the keyboard" means that we would allow turning "Slow keys" on/off from the keyboard. We should be able to always have slow keys on by unchecking the checkbox, and turning on the feature through the GtkSwitch.

Ha! I always thought that checkbox was somehow wierd. That explains it...
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2011-09-01 22:35:44 UTC 
We should clean this up for 3.2, at least...

    universal-access: Fix sensitivity of keyboard a11y
    
    Whether or not we have things like Sticky Keys, or Slow Keys
    enabled, we still need to be able to turn them on/off from
    the keyboard.
