DESCRIPTION

       This  program  can  be  used  to set various options available in the XKB extensions.  This includes such
       things as mousekeys where one can use the numeric pad keys to move the mouse; stickykeys where  modifiers
       like  control  and  shift will lock until the next key press (good for one finger typing); slowkeys where
       the keys will not work unless they are pressed for a certain amount of time; and bouncekeys in which if a
       key is pressed more than once rapidly, only one key press will be registered.

OPTIONS

       b       The b option controls whether the bell is switched on or off.

       h       The  h  option  (or  no  options)  will  type  a  rather  helpful usage message - definitely more
               informative than this unfinished man page.

       perkeyrepeat hex-mask
               With this option, hex-mask is a sequence of 64 hex digits, representing 32  bytes.   These  bytes
               represent  which keys will autorepeat, and which will not.  The 8n+kth key will autorepeat if the
               kth bit of the nth byte is set.  See also the r or the repeatkey option.

       repeatkeys|r [key-code | rate delay [interval] ]
               The r or repeatkey  option can be used to control the autorepeat  feature.   By  itself,  it  can
               switch  the  autorepeat  on  or  off.   Followed  by  a  single  number, it can be used to switch
               autorepeat on or off for that particular keycode (see also the perkeyrepeat option).  Followed by
               rate,  it  can be used to set the time in milliseconds after the key is pressed before autorepeat
               will start, and optionally the time in milliseconds between the key repeats.

BUGS

       In some earlier versions of X, some of the  features  do  not  work  properly.   For  example,  mousekeys
       acceleration.   Also,  the perkeyrepeat option (or repeatkey followed by a key code) did not work.  These
       are due to bugs in the XKB extensions.  These bugs are fixed in more recent versions of X.

       Also the man page is woefully incomplete.
