GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 363427
slow key dialog not controllable by keyboard
Last modified: 2019-03-20 10:49:44 UTC
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/65921 "When shift is held down for a few seconds and the irritating dialog pops up, it cannot be controlled by keyboard, i.e. I cannot hit "inactivate" by keyboard like I can in any other window. I must use the mouse. This is confusing."
The problem is that, when the dialog appears, slow keys are already activated - this means that the keyboard combination needs to be hold some time so that it is recognized (after all, that's what slow keys are about). Maybe it would be better if we activated it after the dialog shows up or, if we don't have any control over that, disable it and enable it again if the user chooses "Activate" in the dialog.
Does holding down Shift even still activate slow keys in GNOME 3? I am not able to reproduce this now.
