Since some of my bugs were marked as a duplicate of this one, I'll enumerate the distinct problems described in those bugs:
There's no way to disable the "shortcut" methods for enabling these features without disabling all accessibility features (such as automatically repeating keys when they're held down, a basic feature of every keyboard I've ever used) The discoverability of the shortcuts is very low (I don't know of anyone who would think "How can I make it so my keys don't activate for 3/10 seconds after they're pressed...I know, I'll hold down shift for awhile, that'll probably do it!") Once the dialog "pops up" (see bug #31720), the feature it describes is already active. This means that the buttons on the dialog in question ("don't activate" and "activate") do not describe what they do ("deactivate" and "don't deactivate" respectively) -- gnome accessibility: Messes up keyboard https://launchpad.net/bugs/65920 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
