My post referred to by pauls is: For those who are having trouble with the system turning off sticky-keys if two keys are pressed or if a modifier key is pressed with another key, I found a setting in Configuration Editor which has stopped that misbehaviour - for me. So, in case it helps others:
In Assistive Technologies Preferences > Keyboard Accessibility > Accessibility tab, I have always set: 1. Simulate simultaneous keypress - ticked 2. Disable sticky keys if two keys are pressed - never ticked Notifications: General: 3. Beep when accessibility features are turned on or off - ticked 4. Beep when toggle key is pressed - ticked Sticky Keys: 5. Beep when a modifier key is pressed - ticked However, despite 2. above, I found 100% of the time pressing a modifier key and another key undid my settings. Very annoying with a trembling hand! Then I looked in Configuration Editor: Applications > System Tools > Configuration Editor > desktop > gnome > accesibility > keyboard. I noticed that 'stickykeys_two_key_off' was still ticked which did not seem logical given my choices. So I unselected it and since then have not had a problem. Hope this helps and works for you - sorry, I don't know a CLI way of doing it.
