Xfce 4.10 sticky keys enable keybind

Hi, sometimes when I randomly hit some "unknown" keybind and I enable (by mistake) sticky keys. Do you know what is that keybind? There is no "sticky keys" keybind option in official Xfce "Keyboard shortcuts" table. I've searched "everywhere" but just cannot find it.
Thanks

It does seem to be an issue if you are using GDM + Xfce combination.
There is someone on the ubuntu forum who had the same problem, look at the end of the page for a workaround .
Basically you need to use xkbset from AUR, it does work for me so hope it works for you guys.
You turn sticky keys off by using:
$ xkbset -a
As the ubuntu user suggests, set this up so it gets autorun when you login to Xfce

Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled on mountain lion?

I'm trying to use speech recognition to input text on my iMac running the latest mountain lion, 10.8.3.
I have sticky keys enabled.
When I try to start speaking by pressing the function key twice nothing happens. I can only get it to work if I disable sticky keys.
The same problem occurs with all the other modifier keys as shortcut, they do not work with sticky keys.
When I try to select a different shortcut, I am unable to select a two key combination, but am limited to one.
If I select the F6 key, or any other single key, I am able to start speech recognition. However the second time that I press the key, it does not stop recognition and process my words. Instead, it restarts the recognition.
Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled?
Or a way to get an individual key shortcut to start on the first press and process it on the second?
Or a way to get key combinations to work, as specified by the help:
Dictation On and Off
To use Dictation, click On.
When you’re ready to dictate text, place the insertion point where you want the dictated text to appear and press the Fn (function) key twice. When you see the lighted microphone icon and hear a beep, the microphone is ready for you to speak your text.
Shortcut
By default, you press the Fn (Function) key twice to start dictation. If you like, you can choose a different shortcut from the menu.
To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, and then press the keys you want to use. You can press two or more keys to create your shortcut.

I noticed with version 10.8.4 of OS X that I am now able to select F6 to activate, and the return key to complete the speech recognition. This is still different than the description of how these should function that's included in the help, but at least it's an improvement.

Using dictation with sticky keys

Hello,
I am new to this support community. I use the sticky keys function (I am a quadriplegic) and now with the dictation feature I no longer need to open my Dragon dictation in order to dictate something short. My problem is that in order to enable dictation I need to hit the fn or cmd key but with sticky keys active, the shortcut does not work and the only key I can assign is one of the arrow keys! HELP!!!

If you can access the Edit menu then you may be able to use DIctation from there?

Key-enable buttons on a JOptionPane

Hi,
The existing code in my Application uses a JOptionPane static method = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog() to create a dialog box.Is there any way I can key-enable the buttons on the dialog created by this method.
public int createAndShowGUI() {
if (!issuesPanel.hasIssues())
return -2; //TODO make constant
else {
//Custom button text
String[] options = should_continue ? new String[] {returnText, continueText} : new String[] {returnText};
int optionButtons = should_continue ? JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION : JOptionPane.CANCEL_OPTION ;
log.info("IssuesOptionPane displayed - " + title);
int optionChosen = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(parent,
issuesPanel.createAndGetIssuesPanel(),
title,
optionButtons,
JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE,
null, //don't use a custom icon
options, //titles of buttons
null); //no default selected button
String buttontext = optionChosen == CLOSE ? "X" : options[optionChosen];
log.info("User clicked on the " + buttontext + " button");
return optionChosen;
I see that there is no way to get a handle on the JButtons created by the JOptionPane.So, one work around that I tried is to create a JPanel, add JButtons , set Input Map, set Action Map ( to add key bindings ) on it.Then create a JDialog and pass this JPanel to the dialog using setContentPane
     private static void createAndShowGUI(){
          JButton bookingButton=new JButton(bookStr);
          JButton returnButton=new JButton(returnStr);
          bookingButton.addActionListener(new BookAction());
          returnButton.addActionListener(new ReturnAction());
          JPanel panel=new JPanel();
          panel.add(bookingButton);
          panel.add(returnButton);
          panel.setActionMap(initActionMap());
          initAndSetInputMap(panel);
          JDialog dialog=new JDialog();
          dialog.setSize(400,100);
          dialog.setModal(true);
          dialog.setContentPane(panel);
          dialog.addPropertyChangeListener(indicator,listener);
          System.out.println("step 1" );
          dialog.pack();
          System.out.println("step 2");
          dialog.setVisible(true);
But the problem that I am facing here is that the property change events triggered by the code inside the actionPerformed methods is not getting capturesd by the listener attached to the JDialog.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Aman

Sticky keys after spilling a drink on Equium A200-196

I recently spilt a drink on my laptop i have removed the keyboard but am unabal to remove the back plate from the keys.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how i might clean the sticky keys or is it a question of purchasing a new keyboard?

> Its basically a wafer thin metallic plate that remains attached to the keys once you remove the keyboard, it would appear the keys are connected to it in some way, i wasnt sure if it was possible to separate them?
Dont think you can remove it. As I said only the keycaps are removable.

Using Sticky keys interfere with iTunes

Hello,
I use sticky keys functions (system preferences / Universal Access / Keyboard).
I noticed this strange behaviour, if itunes is open but music is stopped and a song is selected in itunes, pressing the apple (command) key starts the playing.
Some times I found tha pressing play on itune does not start the playing then pressing the command key unlocks the problem.
Is this a bug?
Best regards
Paolo

That picture looks just like mine does with no music playing. I don't know what else to suggest. You might try deleting the iTunes preferences file. I would also check-mark that box in the Keyboard settings anyway, then un check it and see if that resolves it, the idea being that you're forcing the OS to write to the Keyboard preferences file a couple of times and making sure the data is set correctly. I'm grasping at straws now.
My experience has been, the media keys work no matter what windows is at the front. However, the space bar only starts and stops the musci if iTunes is the front window.
Beyond that, good luck. Maybe talk to an Apple store genius?

I am running CC on Windows 7. My Control key is sticking only in PPS. It is not a sticky key problem

I am running CC on Windows 7. My Control key is sticking only in PPS. It is not a sticky key problem and I am not running any similar program.

Being disabled I use sticky keys and since Firefox 28 (even after Reset) the Alt key doesn't work as a sticky key and Ctrl fires twice eg. Ctrl-v copies twice.

This still happens after upgrading to FF 29.
I have a 64bit Windows 7 system.
Initially, it seemed to be OK but after only a few minutes it was back to this behaviour.
Other symptoms:
1. When I also have Accessibility Mouse Keys enabled, while typing it automatically switches the default click button to the Right button
2. Ctrl-t inserts 2 tab pages and Ctrl-w closes two!
3. everything works fine if used as normal ie. hold the Ctrl or Alt down while pressing the action letter..
Running in Safe mode with no extensions didn't help neither did using after Reset

From your System Details, it looks like user.js is currently active in Firefox. The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release. You can get to the profile folder below:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Show Folder
or
*Go to '''about:support''' and click Show Folder next to Profile Directory.

Partition exchange with Primary Key Enabled : is it possible ?

Hello everybody.
I have succeeded "exchange...INCLUDING INDEXES WITH VALIDATION" a single table with a partition when primary key of the single table and the partitioned table are both Disabled and Validated.
I am trying now to do the same thing but with the 2 primary keys Enabled. Because of the global index générated by the Enabled PK, i "exchange ... including indexes with validation update global indexes" : it doesn't work : "ORA-14098: index mismatch for tables in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION".
But indexes are the same (thanks OEM) that in the previous test, all attributes of the 2 PKs are the same.
Thanks in advance for your help.

For those interested. I finally found the solution elsewhere in the documentation.
If the PK of the partitioned is enabled, the primary key of the single table has to be Disabled and Validated.

Hi, Britni.
Apple can replace the keyboard. If your MacBook is still covered by AppleCare Protection Plan, the repair may even be free.

Sticky Keys and Universal Access

Hello there folks,
I have just bought a new 20" Intel iMac, I'm running 10.4.6 with all the software updates, updated firmware et al.
One of my favorite features of Mac OS X are the sticky keys, they help people with reduced hand mobility use the keyboard.
Thing is... Every time I restart my computer it deselects the option "sticky keys ON" and I have to select it again at every restart. This did not happen on my old Dual USB iBook... I could restart and the sticky keys would still be selected.
Any suggestions why this is happening? I've tried several times and the stituation keps repeating itself.
Thanks in advance to everyone with any suggestions.
iMac 20" (Intel). Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I've had this exact same problem with my MacBook Pro.
If I logout/login, the setting is retained. If I
restart and login, Sticky Keys is inactive. If I
examine my
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.universalaccess.plist
efore going into the Universal Access preference
pane, "stickyKey" is set to "Yes". But when I
examine the setting in the preference pane, it's
shown as "off."
That's intersting, I wonder if maybe the issue will be resolved with a software update. So, we now know the problem is present in the MacBookPro as well as an iMac. Thanks for your imput, let's hope we get a satisfying answer from someone soon.

Sticky Keys keeps turning off after every restart

the Sticky Keys option in the universal access prefs pane keeps turning off after every restart. how can i fix this?

It seems to be a common problem in the OS that when you restarts some of the settings get reset. For me it happens with the screeen dimming before sleep and the double click using 2 fingers and maybe others that I don't know about. I am hoping that its fixed in 10.4.7 which should be out within a week or so.
