Why each option
The Sticky Keys accessibility feature in the X Window System allows users to press modifier keys sequentially instead of simultaneously with another key.
Sticky Keys is an accessibility feature specifically designed to help users with physical disabilities by allowing them to press modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) one at a time, and have them remain active for the next key press, simulating simultaneous key presses. This eliminates the need to hold down multiple keys.
This describes a 'bounce keys' or 'filter keys' feature, which ignores rapid key presses, not Sticky Keys.
This also describes a 'bounce keys' or 'filter keys' feature, which helps users who accidentally press keys multiple times.
This describes the key repeat or auto-repeat feature, where holding down a key continuously types the character, which is the opposite of what Sticky Keys addresses.
