Chris,

Can you not simply make SOK remember that shift was pressed and keep the 
state internally in SOK? IOW:

1. when the user clicks shift you set a flag. When a letter is clicked 
SOK sends shift+<letter>+unshift to X and removes the flag.

2. When shift is clicked twice you set a sticky flag. Again, each time 
the user clicks a letter, SOK sends shift+<letter>+unshift. When shift 
is clicked again you unset the flag.

That way you avoid triggering slow keys and avoid making an 
'accessibility violation'.

Bill, is it an accessibility violation to have unusable accessibility tools?
