Public bug reported:

I've just installed Ubuntu 18.04 and wanted to set the keyboard repeat
delay and speed. So I type "Keyboard", hoping to land in the same place
I would on Ubuntu 16, but the Keyboard settings in 18 only have
shortcuts. Huh?

I had to Google "how to set the keyboard repeat rate Ubuntu 18", which
is already a big red flag.

I'm sure there was a reason for that setting to be moved under
"Universal Access", but was there a user acceptance test? Maybe it makes
some logical or architectural sense to have Keyboard Repeat Settings
under "Universal Access", but to me and to many other users[1] it makes
no sense at all.

To quote one user:

"Great UI design. Why would you put keyboard settings in
Settings->Keyboard? Haha that'd be stupid! We should hide them in
accessibility under what looks like a toggle-button but isn't instead...
Edit: Speed is backwards? Oh my god someone *designed* this??"
