Introduction:Accessibility:Time is Relative

From KDE-HIG_Wiki

Some users are much slower using their computer.

Ill people, or old people, take more time even if they are using the computer in a standard way. Users with low visions need longer to read the text on the screen. User with motion impairments are often using non-standard keyboards or mice, or they are simply slower when using them. Other users rely on assisitve technologies (such as screen readers, on-screen keyboards or special keyboard settings).

  1. Avoid hardcoded timeouts (e.g. there is a setting for the double click / drag time)
  2. Keep in mind that keyboard and mouse events might come from assistive technologies
