Where is the cursor speed for mouse keys configured, under Wayland?

in flag

I basically want to ask this question, but for Wayland. Under Wayland, the suggested solution using xkbset does not work as XKB not supported for display :0

On Ubuntu 22.04, I have Mouse Keys enabled under Accessibility so I can move the mouse cursor via my keyboard. Alas, the cursor moves unbearably slow. This is unaffected by the general mouse speed.

Under Wayland, how can I set the speed of the mouse cursor when using Mouse Keys?

Using the dconf editor (run dconf-editor once installed), you'll want to edit the property called mousekeys-max-speed located at org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard. From there, disable (uncheck) the Use default value box, and edit the Custom value field. Finally choose the [Apply] button for the new values to take effect.

BTW, as a bonus, while in the dconf editor, search for the term mousekeys and you'll see several other properties that you can edit to get the kind of functionality you're looking for.

Alternatively, if you don't want to install dconf-editor and stick to the CLI, you can use the gettings command to do your bidding. For example, to query the current mousekeys-max-speed key value, you'd run gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.a11y.keyboard mousekeys-max-speed, which should return 10 (the default value). Similarly, you'd use gsettings set to set an appropriate value. Additional examples and a more in-depth explanation of the gsettings command is available at the Ubuntu Manpage for gsettings.

Thank you! Yes, of course, search `dconf-editor` before Google! Setting `mousekeys-max-speed = 3000`, `mousekeys-accel-time = 3000` and `mousekeys-init-delay = 0` seems a good start for me.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
