Description Luca Ferretti 2011-08-10 14:43:24 UTC 
All keyboard accessibility features are disabled by default due "active" key of a11y-keyboard. It seems[1] the value for this key if false since the switch from gconf to gsettings.

This means the only way to use a11y keyboard features is activate this plugin using gsettings command in terminal or dconf-editor, and I suppose this is really bad for impaired people :/

The trivial fix is s/false/true in schema file. Is it OK to change or there is any special reason to keep it false?



PS kudos to cosimoc to find the actual issue :)

Right, not sure why I disabled it by default when migrating to gsettings, so just pushed a fix to enable it by default.
