In my current (Fedora 37) XFCE setup, I have sticky keys and all other accessibility features disabled.

However Stickey keys are still on, and my Alt-Gr key randomly becomes stuck when I need to enter a couple special characters in a row.

I have two problems: I don't know how to "un-stick" that stuck key, other than switching to another keyboard layout with ibus.

Even though I have all sticky-key features disabled, they still appear to be enabled, even though xbset q shows them as off.

Accessibility Features (AccessX) = Off
Sticky-Keys = Off

Is there a way how I can permanently, once and for all, disable accessibility features, as in perhaps uninstall a library, etc?

I've had the same problem. Sticky keys were disabled on xfce4-settings-manager, I've fixed the issue by turning them on and off (as a classic IT joke suggest).

I have XFCE 4.14 on Ubuntu (installed manually, not Xubuntu). I have sticky keys disabled through the XFCE settings manager.

I can check sticky keys by launching XFCE settings with xfce4-settings-manager in a terminal. I then open Accessibility settings to modify sticky keys. enter image description here

It would be worth having a look there to see what your setting is. If it is already disabled then there is probably another tool keeping sticky keys enabled

    I explained in my OP that Sticky Keys are disabled through the settings UI... Every single option in the Accessibility Submenu ("Assistive Technologies", "Keyboard", and "Mouse") is disabled. Commented Jan 18, 2024 at 14:52
