+<para>This module allows you to choose how your keyboard works.</para>
+
+<para>The actual effect of setting these options depends upon the
+features provided by your keyboard hardware and the X server on which
+&kde; 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>

+<listitem>
+<para>When this option is selected, pressing and holding down a key
+emits the same character repeatedly until the key is released. Pressing
+and holding the key will have the same effect as pressing it multiple
+times in succession. </para>
+<tip><para> Almost all users will want to have this option enabled, because it
+makes navigating through documents with the arrow keys significantly
+easier. </para></tip>

+<para>You can choose to either always <guilabel>Turn on</guilabel> or

+choose to have &kde; leave NumLock at whatever it was set to before KDE

+<term><guilabel>Key click volume:</guilabel></term>
+<listitem>
+<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>
