On my phone — still Android 12 — I turned on the KISS option “Double tap to lock screen”. I love it, for my special kind of limited dexterity it is so much easier than pressing the side button. But on my tablet, Android 15, when I try that I run into a permission request for the accessibility API, which I cannot grant because the corresponding option in Settings is grayed / disabled. There’s a “Learn more” link when I try to tap that — not helpful for me because the tablet is airgapped 
So, is there a way to enable this permission for KISS in this situation?

Did you install KISS using F-Droid Client as expected on both devices?
No. The tablet was already airgapped so I downloaded the the KISS apk and sideloaded it. Does it make a difference?
I really cannot go online with this device. The second I get online Samsung will start pushing gigabytes of crap Samsung apps. 
Yes it does… when installed via F-Droid client you are not blocked like that.
Anyway, go to Android Settings, Apps, KISS, upper right menu, touch “restricted whatever” …grant it
Then retry
This restriction doesn’t appear on the list, if I navigate to it the way you suggest. Here is the full list that appears:
- read your contacts
- directly call phone numbers
- read phone status and identity
- expand/collapse status bar
- request delete packages
- query all packages
- Access hidden profiles
It does appear when KISS itself asks me to grant it, but then it is grayed.
Is it possible that vendors can restrict this even beyond the restriction in stock Android?
OOH … wrong menu. It works now, many thanks.
