Description A. Ismail 2025-05-09 13:15:59 UTC

Since the upgrade to Plasma 6, bounce keys timeout can be set higher than 99ms but it not lower than 100ms. I used to have it at 20ms to deal with my less than ideal keyboard bouncing some keys occasionally. I know this setting is mainly for accessibility, but is is also useful with some keyboards (like in my case).

kcms/access: Reduce lower threshold for bounce keys

Apparently a low value can be useful to alleviate hardware issues, so
let's set the lower bound lower to accommodate such use cases.
