NAME
accessx - a graphical interface to the accessx keyboard enhancements.
SYNOPSIS
accessx [ -o ] [ -i ] [ -a ]
AVAILABILITY
The keyboard enhancements and corresponding graphical interface are
available on any X server with the "AccessX" or "XKEYBOARD" extensions.
DESCRIPTION
accessx is a graphical user interface to available enhancements. These
enhancements provide the keyboard with additional capabilities which
are primarily designed to aid users with disabilities who are unable to
use a keyboard or mouse in the usual fashion.
OPTIONS
-o Each user may load and save personal default settings for the
various keyboard enhancement features. By default, the accessx
utility will read in the user's default settings and configure
the system to those settings. However, in certain instances the
user might wish to use the systems current settings instead of
his/her own default settings. Specifying the -o option will
instruct the accessx utility to ignore a user's default settings
and use the systems current settings instead.
-i When this option is specified, the accessx user interface ini-
tially appears in an iconified state.
-a Users may pop up dialog boxes indicating the state of Sticky
Keys and Mouse Keys via the main menu of the accessx utility's
graphical interface. Some users, however, want these status dia-
log windows to appear and disappear automatically whenever they
turn on and off Sticky Keys or Mouse Keys. Specifying the -a
option instructs the accessx utility to automatically pop up and
down the Sticky Keys status window whenever Sticky Keys is
turned on or off, respectively, and to automatically pop up and
down the Mouse Keys status window whenever Mouse Keys is turned
on or off, respectively.
ENVIRONMENT
The HOME environment variable is used to identify the directory in
which to load and save a user's default settings. The settings are
stored in X resource file format in the file $HOME/.AccessX. The user
may modify or add resources to this file directly, however all comments
will be deleted when the user performs a save settings action.
