Re: [SOLVED] How to keep mousekeys active for a long time?

let me paste your code for udev run in X:

#!/bin/bash

pid=$(pgrep -t tty$(fgconsole) xinit)
pid=$(pgrep -P $pid -n)

import_environment() {
        (( pid )) && for var; do
                IFS='=' read key val < <(egrep -z "$var" /proc/$pid/environ)

                printf -v "$key" %s "$val"
                [[ ${!key} ]] && export "$key"
        done
}

import_environment XAUTHORITY USER DISPLAY

Re: [SOLVED] How to keep mousekeys active for a long time?

I solved this problem by starting X with the +accessx 0 option.
Documentation here: Xorg • help

As I use LightDM, I edited the following lines of /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:

[Seat:*]
xserver-command=X +accessx 0

There is no need to install xkbset.
