Description matze 2002-09-30 13:02:48 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I dare not guessing what "Use bounce keys" is supposed to mean ;) Also, there are no WhatsThis entries for all the items in this module, makeing it particularely hard for users to figure out their meaning.

Suggestion: Change the text to something meaningful. A WhatsThis is nice, but the use of WhatsThis is not as obvious as a descriptive text. I guess that it'd also make it easier for translators ;)

Maybe something like "Use bounce keys to ignore rapid, repeated keypresses of the same key".

kcms/access: Add tooltips for slow keys and bounce keys

Added tooltip for 
- bounce keys: Ignore rapid, repeated keypresses of the same key
- slow keys: For a key to be accepted, it has to be held until the set amount of time

I got these strings from https://userbase.kde.org/System_Settings/Accessibility
