NAME
       accessx	-  A  graphical	 interface to the AccessX keyboard enhancement
       utility

SYNOPSIS
       accessx [options]

OPTIONS
       You can load and save personal default settings for the various AccessX
       features.  Specifying  -client  instructs  AccessX  to use your current
       default AccessX settings.  Specifying -server instructs AccessX to  use
       the  current AccessX system settings. The default is -client.  Specify‐
       ing the -status option instructs the AccessX utility  to	 automatically
       pop  up	the  status  window  when  AccessX is started.	Specifying the
       -vmods option instructs the AccessX utility to use the names  for  vir‐
       tual  modifiers	in  the	 status	 window.  For example, when the -vmods
       switch is on, AccessX displays NumLock instead of Mod5.

DESCRIPTION
       AccessX (accessx) is a graphical user interface utility.	  The  utility
       provides enhancements to the X Window System to help users with differ‐
       ent disabilities interact with workstations.  These  features  make  it
       easier for you to use the standard workstation input devices:  the key‐
       board and the mouse.  You interact with your workstation as  usual,  by
       entering commands and manipulating menus and dialog boxes.

       The AccessX keyboard enhancements and corresponding graphical interface
       are available on any workstation running the X  Windows	System	server
       that has the XKB keyboard extension.

       AccessX offers the following features: Lets you perform multikey opera‐
       tions with one hand, one finger, or a mouth stick.  You	can  use  this
       feature	to  enter  uppercase letters or certain punctuation characters
       without having to hold down the Shift key while pressing the  character
       key.   This  feature  also  makes it easier to enter control characters
       such as Ctrl/C.	Lets you use keys on the numeric  keypad  as  well  as
       other  keyboard	keys  instead  of the mouse to perform input functions
       such as clicking on objects or moving the cursor.  With	this  feature,
       you can use one finger or a mouth stick to move the cursor to different
       areas of the screen, manipulate menus, and select, cut, and paste text.
       Provides	 audio	feedback  when the Shift Lock (Caps Lock) key has been
       pressed.	 This feature can help people who might have difficulty seeing
       the  keyboard  light indicator for Shift Lock or people who are using a
       keyboard that does not provide light indicators for any	keyboard  set‐
       tings.	Allows	you to adjust how fast the auto-repeat keyboard mecha‐
       nism responds or to turn it off entirely.  With this feature turned on,
       you  can set your keyboard so that holding down a key for a longer than
       average time does not result in	a  second  entry  of  that  character.
       Makes keys less likely to respond when brushed accidentally.  With this
       feature turned on, the computer accepts only keystrokes that  are  held
       for  a  certain	length of time.	 The computer ignores light keystrokes
       that are held only for a moment.	 Eliminates the problem of pressing  a
       key  and	 then  accidentally pressing it again before moving to another
       key.  You can set this feature to tell the computer not	to  process  a
       second  pressing	 of  a	key  unless  a	certain length of time elapses
       between each pressing.  Shuts off the AccessX features on a workstation
       after  a specified period of time has passed.  With this feature turned
       on, if you are sharing a workstation and have  set  some	 AccessX  fea‐
       tures, the settings are automatically turned off before the next person
       uses the machine.  To retain your AccessX settings all the  time,  turn
       off the Time Out feature.

       You  can	 invoke the AccessX utility by entering the accessx command or
       choosing AccessX from the Applications menu in the Session Manager. You
       use  the	 AccessX  dialog box to select and customize the features that
       you want to set.	 There is a Features Test area at the  bottom  of  the
       dialog  box  that  allows  you to test settings before applying them to
       your session.

X DEFAULTS INFORMATION
       The HOME environment variable is used  to  identify  the	 directory  in
       which to load and save your default settings.  The AccessX settings are
       stored in X resource file format in the	file  $HOME/AccessX.  You  can
       modify  or add resources to this file directly.	Note that any comments
       are deleted when you perform a save settings action.  The format for  a
       resource specification in the $HOME/AccessX file is:

       *resource:value

       Specifies  the resource.	 Specifies the value that is to be assigned to
       the resource.

       For details about modifying resources, see the X(1X) reference page.

       Because each X Window System toolkit-based application can consist of a
       combination  of	widgets	 (for example, push buttons and a scroll bar),
       you can form the name string for a new resource specification by adding
       widget  class  and name identifiers to the string. For further informa‐
       tion about adding class and name identifiers, see the  X(1X)  reference
       page.
