GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 119374
gnome-keyboard-properties & gnome-accessibility-keyboard-properties overlap and aren't identical
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
This really belongs under both keyboard and Keybaord Accessibility components, but I couldn't select both... gnome-keyboard-properties & gnome-accessibility-keyboard-properties both allow the keyboard repeat rate & delay to be set (which is duplication of effort--I really don't think it should be in both places, since it does the same thing). However, they allow different ranges for the repeat rate and delay. I will shortly attach a patch that fixes this so that the ranges are the same. The patch won't fix the fact that there shouldn't be this duplication. Also, when the duplication is deleted, the gnome-accessibility-keyboard-properties has a better UI. The text boxes allow for fine-tuned controlling and an idea of what the rate really is. So, I vote that it has the right UI to use.
Created attachment 19015 [details] [review] Patch to make the repeat ranges identical
Adding PATCH keyword and setting priority to high.
The patch has been committed. Marking as fixed.
