I have xkbset st -twokeys in ~/.xsession file. My process list is (mine, not system):
winbindd: domain child
/lib/systemd/systemd --user
(sd-pam)
/usr/bin/pipewire
/usr/bin/wireplumber
/usr/bin/pipewire-pulse
/usr/bin/pipewire-pulse
/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --session --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation --syslog-only
/usr/bin/ssh-agent
ratpoison
pulseaudio
xscreensaver
xscreensaver-systemd
bash
rdesktop
ps -ef
grep
xkbset st turns on stickykeys; when you press ctrl, alt, or shift it stays pressed until the next keystroke. -twokeys prevents it from being turned off by the normal keyboard disabling action of modifier pressed with normal. How do I get stickykeys to stay on? Something is turning it off on a timer. How often? About every 15 minutes. This is definitely Xorg not Wayland. The window manager is ratpoison. OS: Debian Bookworm x64 Here's an outside link to a very similar problem, but it's not caused by keyboard connection problems for me. https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/setxkbmap-keeps-resetting/17648
