In Windows it is sometimes necessary to press more than one key at a time in order to use a keyboard shortcut. Examples are
- Ctrl + C for Copy
- Ctrl + V for Paste
- Ctrl + X for Cut
- Ctrl + Z for Undo
However this can be difficult for users with dexterity problems. When a shortcut requires a key combination, the StickyKeys feature lets you press a modifier key, such as Shift, Ctrl, Alt, or the Windows Logo key, and have it remain active until another key is pressed.
To activate StickyKeys
- Press the Shift key five times. A dialog box opens with instructions on how to set up the StickyKeys feature.
- If you click OK, an icon (a group of squares) appears in the notification area.
To turn off StickyKeys, press the Shift key five times. Simple hey?
