the screen.Turn on slow keys
Turn on slow keys if you would like there to be a delay between
pressing a key and that letter being displayed on the screen. This means that
you have to hold down each key you want to type for a little while before it
appears. Use slow keys if you accidentally press several keys at a time when
you type, or if you find it difficult to press the right key on the keyboard
first time.
Open the Activities
overview and start typing Settings.
Click on Settings.
Click Universal Access in the sidebar to open the panel.
Press Typing Assist (AccessX) in the Typing
section.
Switch the Slow Keys switch to on.
Quickly turn slow keys on and off
Under Enable by Keyboard, select
Turn on accessibility features from the keyboard to
turn slow keys on and off from the keyboard. When this option is selected,
you can press and hold Shift for eight seconds to enable or
disable slow keys.
You can also turn slow keys on and off by clicking the
accessibility icon on the top bar and
selecting Slow Keys. The accessibility icon is visible when
one or more settings have been enabled from the Universal Access
panel.
Use the Acceptance delay slider to control how long you have to
hold a key down for it to register.
You can have your computer make a sound when you press a key, when a key
press is accepted, or when a key press is rejected because you didn’t hold
the key down long enough.
