Command
blinking refers to the
number
of
times a
com-
mand blinks when it
is
chosen from a menu. This can be set
to
0
(off), I,
2,
or
3 by clicking the mouse button.
Rate
of
repeating keys allows the Mac
operator
to
change
the rate
at
which a key will repeat when it is pressed. The higher
the setting, the faster the keys repeat.
Keyboard
touch
refers
to
the length
of
time a key must be
pressed before it begins repeating. A high setting causes the
keys
to
repeat when pressed
for
only a
short
period
of
time. A
low setting means
that
the keys will have
to
be pressed longer
to
repeat. A setting
of
0 causes the repeating feature
to
be
turned off.
Rate
of
insertion point blinking controls the rate
at
which
the insertion pointer flashes.
Mouse tracking controls the distance the screen pointer
will move relative to the speed with which the mouse
is
moved
on
the desk
or
table surface. A setting
of
I causes the pointer to
move farther as the mouse
is
moved faster. A setting
of
0 results
in the pointer's movement remaining independent
of
the
mouse speed.
Desktop
pattern
allows the Mac
operator
to
choose the
background
pattern
to be used for the Desktop. The available
patterns
can
be displayed by clicking the mouse in the white
bar
on
top
of
the miniature window to the left.
By
clicking the
right side
of
the bar, the next
pattern
will be displayed. Click-
ing the left side displays the previous pattern. When the desired
pattern is displayed, move the pointer inside
of
the pattern
and
click the mouse button. The Desktop pattern will change to the
selected pattern.
The double-click speed setting determines the speed with
which the mouse
button
must be pressed in
order
for it
to
be
interpreted as a double-click. The higher values require the
button
to
be pressed quickly, while the lower values allow the
button to be pressed more slowly.
