StickyKeys
Many people with disabilities have trouble holding down two keys at once,
making combinations like Control-D or Shift-Mouse-Click difficult. When
StickyKeys is turned on, modifier keys (generally, Shift, Alt, Control, and Meta)
stay active while you type another key or click a mouse button.
Turning StickyKeys On and Off
There are four ways to turn StickyKeys off:
•
•
Check the StickyKeys check box in the AccessX main window.
•
Press a modifier and any other key — for example, Shift-x or Control-Shift
(valid only if you’ve started OpenWindows with the -accessx option).
•
Press two modifier keys at once (see under “StickyKeys Settings”).
Press the Shift key five times in succession (valid only if you’ve started
OpenWindows with the -accessx option).
Latching and Locking
Sticky keys may be either latched or locked:
•
You latch a modifier key by pressing it once.
A latched key stays active until a non-modifier key is pressed. Suppose that,
with StickyKeys on, you press the Control key. It will stay “pressed” while
you press the l key, giving you Control-L. Once you press l, Control is
“released.”
•
You lock a modifier key by pressing it twice in succession.
The key stays locked until you press it again. For example, suppose you
want to enter
:WR
In this case, you would press Shift twice to lock it. Then you’d press the
colon key and the letters w and r. To unlock Shift, press it again.
