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.  Speci-
       fying  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 virtual 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 dif-
       ferent disabilities interact with workstations. These features make it easier for you to use the standard workstation input  devices:   the
       keyboard 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 operations 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 diffi-
       culty seeing the keyboard light indicator for Shift Lock or people who are using a keyboard that does not provide light indicators for  any
       keyboard  settings.   Allows you to adjust how fast the auto-repeat keyboard mechanism responds or to turn it off entirely.  With this fea-
       ture 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 key-
       strokes 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 com-
       puter not to process a second pressing of a key unless a certain length of time elapses between each pressing.  Shuts off the AccessX  fea-
       tures 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 features, the settings are automatically turned off before the next person uses the machine.  To retain your AccessX  set-
       tings 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
       information about adding class and name identifiers, see the X(1X) reference page.
