right mouse button immediately.</para>

        <title>To Configure the Double-Click Behavior</title>
        <para>If you have difficulty double-clicking, you can increase the period
of time that the system allows to elapse between the first click and the second
click of a double-click. For example, if the double-click timeout setting
is 0.4 seconds, you must perform the second click of a double-click within
0.4 seconds of the first click. If the second click occurs more than 0.4 seconds
after the first click, the system interprets the two clicks as two single
clicks. </para>

steps:</para>

            <para>Double-click on the light bulb to the right of the slider
to test the setting. If you perform the two clicks of the double-click within
the timeout specified, the light bulb lights up fully to display a yellow
glow around the bulb. If you do not double-click within the timeout specified,
the light bulb does not light fully. You should increase the timeout setting
and try again. When the light bulb lights, the timeout setting is suitable
for your needs. </para>

      <title>To Enable Audible Notifications for Toggle Keys</title>
      <para>A toggle key is any key on the keyboard that can switch between two
states. The <keycap>Num Lock</keycap>, <keycap>Caps Lock</keycap>, and <keycap>Scroll Lock</keycap> keys are toggle keys. Most toggle keys have an associated
light emitting diode (LED) on the keyboard that lights when the toggle key
is active. To assist users with visual impairments, you can customize the
keyboard to emit an audible notification when a user presses a toggle key.
For example, when you press <keycap>Num Lock</keycap>, you can determine whether
the key is toggled or not toggled by the sound. </para>
      <para>To enable accessible toggle keys, select the <guilabel>Enable Toggle
Keys</guilabel> option in the <guilabel>Filters</guilabel> tabbed section.
When you activate the <keycap>Num Lock</keycap>, <keycap>Caps Lock</keycap>,
or <keycap>Scroll Lock</keycap> keys, the system beeps once. When you deactivate
a toggle key, the system beeps twice.</para>

      <title>To Enable the Repeat Keys Feature</title>
      <para>The repeat keys feature enables you to repeat a keystroke multiple times
without pressing the key more than once. This feature is designed for users
who cannot release keys quickly, for example users who operate a mouth stick.
When you enable repeat keys, you can specify the duration for which you must
press a key before the key starts to repeat.</para>
      <para>To enable and configure the repeat keys feature, perform the following
steps: </para>

          <para>Use the <guilabel>Delay</guilabel> slider or spin box to specify
