How to disable "sticky keys" notification?

Hi everyone! 
Please can you help me?
When I log in to XFCE and type something I see every time "sticky keys are enabled/disabled".
Also message can appear randomly during the session. How to disable this message?

The notification can be triggered by xcape (which is installed by default in Manjaro Xfce).

Hi elasticsearch,

How about this. In Accessibility settings on the Keyboard tab disable "Use sticky keys".

Hi GWBenson
Thanks, yes I tried that but it does not have any effect. Also I tried turn off accessibility by this command: xkbset -a
MX Linux forum recommend to remove at-spi2-core library. But I think it is very bad decision.

I like XFCE, but its so f*** annoying to see "sticky keys" notification

You should be able to prevent the notification from appearing by unchecking (blocking) the "xfce4-settings-helper" application in Settings Manager > Notifications > Applications tab.

Thanks, maybe it works. And your suggestion will help somebody. But I am at the moment testing MATE. I'll write about result of blocking "xfce4-settings-helper" notification, if I use XFCE again

Re: How to disable "sticky keys" notification?

This drives me nuts, I can't use my keyboard because of those sticky keys. The settings say it's disable and yet it's enabled.

One time I turn it on and off and it worked.

But now it doesn't, it stick in enable mode even that the notification says it's disabled.

How can I remove this accessibility stuff completely? So it's never triggered by accident ever again?

I'm not even able to find what it even is, when you search all you see is how to disable this thing. Since it enables randomly.
