Sticky Keys is an accessibility feature available on many computers and laptops that helps users with physical disabilities or those who want to reduce repetitive strain injury. It allows users to press and release a modifier key, such as Shift, Ctrl, Alt, or the Windows key, and have it remain active until any other key is pressed. This way, users can execute keyboard shortcuts without having to hold down multiple keys at once, which can be stressful on the fingers.
Sticky Keys can be enabled or disabled via the Accessibility Options or Ease of Access Center in the Windows Control Panel. It can also be activated by tapping the Shift key five times, and a prompt will open asking if you want to use Sticky Keys. If Sticky Keys is currently on and you want it off, you can flip the toggle to off or press three or more of the modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Function, Windows Key) at the same time.
Sticky Keys can be a useful tool for those who are unable to press multiple keys at once due to physical limitations. It can also help those with gaming PCs, as they are able to press combinations of keys while playing without having to hold each one down.
