<para>The actual effect of setting these options depends upon the
|
|
|
|
|
features provided by your keyboard hardware and the X server on which
|
|
|
|
|
&tde; is running. As an example, you may find that changing the key
|
|
|
|
|
click volume has no effect because that feature is not available on your
|
|
|
|
|
system.</para>

<para>If supported, this option allows you to hear audible clicks from
|
|
|
|
|
your computer's speakers when you press the keys on your keyboard. In
|
|
|
|
|
essence, this simulates the <quote>click</quote> of a mechanical
|
|
|
|
|
type-writer. You can change the loudness of the key click feedback by
|
|
|
|
|
dragging the slider button or by clicking the up/down arrows on the
|
|
|
|
|
spin-button. Setting the volume to 0% turns off the key
|
|
|
|
|
click.</para>

<para>Many computers won't support this function.</para>
|

|
<tip><para>Very few people would choose to enable this option, since it
|
|
|
|
|
generally annoys everyone else in the room. However, if your heart
|
|
|
|
|
yearns for the pre-soft-key era, this may help you to re-experience the
|
|
|
|
|
warm sentimentality of days-gone-by.</para>
