The sytem-wide StickyKeys is too inflexible for my needs. I have the following gripes: * A user might want the onscreen keyboard to be sticky but not the physical.
* It allows me to implement the functionality in a way that is more suitable for an onscreen keyboard. One click sets sticky for one click of a non sticky character, a further click sets sticky until a third click. * The sticky keys dialogue is annoying. A far better way would be to enable it in the preferences, since you must to enable assistive technology support and be notified of it's act/deactivation by a notification bubble. * This is not purely a a11y project. It has other uses, tablet pc's etc. Therefore I wanted a soft dependency on assistive technologies. * GOK's implentation is very unreliable on my system, and not something I particularly want to emulate. I know I should fix these gripes instead of treading my own path. However, this is a Summer of Code project and so I need to produce the expected results before a deadline. In other words I cannot spend the summer making gnome-a11y suitable for my needs. What I need is a temporary work around until after the SoC when I could find time to work on this aspect of gnome-a11y and fix my program so it is not an "accessibility violation".
