I figured out how to configure mousekeys with xkb and xkbset use the command command xkbset ma 300 3 1000 1 6000. However, the settings don't persist when I reboot. How can I make these settings permanent?

I know there are some similar threads, but I didn't understand them well enough to use them for my question. Thanks.

    https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/504158/permanently-change-xkb-keybindings has a step-by-step example in the use of setxkbmap – K7AAY Mar 04 '20 at 18:17

    Thank you for info. I read the page you linked to, and I looked in /usr/share/X11/xkb/ , and I could not find where the settings I'm interested in are stored. There a ./compat/mousekeys , but this does not appear to contain timing settings or any numbers large enough that they could be timing settings. – eli-damon Mar 06 '20 at 15:44
  • Please forgive me asking, but "I can't see where settings are stored" is different from "It didn't work". Did you try the steps in that example, and if so, were the changes you defined persistent? – K7AAY Mar 06 '20 at 16:24
  • I forgive you. ;)

    I tried to follow the example, but xkbset doesn't seem to work the same way as setxkbmap. It doesn't have a -print option, and as far I can tell from looking at the files, it doesn't seem to store settings in the same place.
