<title>Turn on bounce keys</title>
<p>Turn on <em>bounce keys</em> to ignore key presses that are rapidly
repeated. For example, if you have hand tremors which cause you to press a
key multiple times when you only want to press it once, you should turn on
bounce keys.</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui>
overview and start typing <gui>Accessibility</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click <gui>Accessibility</gui> to open the panel.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select the <gui>Typing</gui> section to open it.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>In the <gui>Typing Assist</gui> section, switch the <gui>Bounce Keys</gui>
switch to on.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<note style="tip">
<title>Quickly turn bounce keys on and off</title>
<p>You can turn bounce keys on and off by clicking the
<link xref="a11y-icon">accessibility icon</link> on the top bar and
selecting <gui>Bounce Keys</gui>. The accessibility icon is visible when
one or more settings have been enabled from the <gui>Accessibility</gui>
panel.</p>
</note>
<p>Use the <gui>Acceptance delay</gui> slider to change how long bounce keys
waits before it registers another key press after you pressed the key for the
first time. Select <gui>Beep when a key is rejected</gui> if you want the
computer to make a sound each time it ignores a key press because it happened
too soon after the previous key press.</p>
