Has anybody else had experience in trying to configure X environments for people who have co-ordination problems when using normal keyboards - that is find it impossible to type more than one key at a time and to move mice around? We have a particular case in mind - this isn't a theoretical exercise. In particular we believe that the particular person could use an X environment if we could do the following: 1) The modifier keys could all act akin to Caps-Lock (ie. once pressed the action stayed in place until pressed again). 2) The cursor could be moved around using the keyboard arrow keys, or other keyboard keys. If the mice buttons could also be replaced by keyboard keys, this might help. Also some way of simulating double clicks at a slow rate. We are running the MIT server on an Apollo ring running 10.1. We could upgrade to 10.2 if we needed to. However, we'd like a method that worked on other machines too (esp. Sun's). Can anyone help? John Forrest Dept of Computation UMIST
