Imagine you are disabled and only have the use of one finger.
How do you press "Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V"?
Stickykeys allows you to use your one functioning finger to press Ctrl then release it, then press C and release it, and you'll have done the equivalent of pressing both at the same time.
TIL what sticky keys is used for
yeah, the fact that we all know if it but none of us knew what it did is still kind of a failure. if the pop up defined sticky keys it might actually have seen some use in everyday life. like i might actually start using that when I'm on the phone at work and need to do stuff on the computer at the same time. assuming it's still easily accessible in Windows 11.
Turning off that shit is one of the first things I do on a fresh install.
Turning off sticky keys is one of the first things I do after accidentally activating it during a raid and wiping the team.
The problem is that I always forget about it, until it inevitably triggers.
Guaranteed by the 5th or 6th time I stop what I'm doing and take care of that!
It allows users to press keys like Shift, Ctrl, Alt, or the Windows key one at a time, rather than holding them down while pressing another key.
And here is my obligatory; “just use linux”.
Also if you keep pressing shift repeatedly after the sticky keys window appears, it will eventually disappear and disable the prompt alltoghether.
Or just turn the setting off when it appears the first time?
How is Linux an alternative to Sticky Keys?
I somehow thought it was a Windows thing, but being an accessability feature of course isn’t.
I was also joking because it seems to be 90% of our comments to suggest using linux😅
It's good advice irrespective of the time or topic.
It's soooooooo easy to disable. The pop up for it even tells you how!
People with disabilities exist, and they use computers too.
EDIT: love the unimaginative and annoying replies that rather than use their brain and contribute would instead throw insults. A person with low hand dexterity, like for instance people with paralysis, upper limb amputees of all kinds and people who use computers alternatively, like with their feet, or alternative keyboards and hardware adapters can initiate common key chords with this feature. For instance, common ones like ctrl+c ctrl+v, by pressing the key five times, then the letters. It is stopped by pressing the sticky key again. It's a good basic feature that enabled the use of computers for people who are usually ignored and undervalued by the tech industry. If you are a person with a disability you're likely to already know this while ignorant ableists, as in this meme, usually act as if it is some kind of alien function. It is not, people had to fight tooth and nail to get even this basic shit out the OS back in the day.
EDIT2: How about we all learn something new and interesting together instead of fighting.
Wow, imagine being this condescending and still not explaining anything!
it lets you mimic holding down multiple buttons at a time while only holding down 1 button. Its primary use case is for people who would struggle holding down multiple buttons at once, as the person you are responding to said.
That isn't what they said. Someone could guess if they knew how sticky keys worked but there are many types of disabilites.
Maybe they didn’t explain everything that you wanted to know, but they were not replying to you. They were replying to OP.
OP wondered what Sticky Keys was for, not what it is. The comment answered that it is for anyone who might need it to operate a computer, while highlighting that the needs of that population are often forgotten or ignored.
If you want further clarification you are welcome to ask. You don’t have meet a perceived slight with further condescension.
Yea that is true, but you're not answering op's question.
Nobody, anywhere in this thread, said they don't.
I really think it's less "I don't understand and hate this accessibility feature" than "why is my computer suddenly interrupting what I'm doing to announce a feature I don't need?" The press-5-times thing is the problem. Why would a mobility-limited person even think that was how you turn it on, rather than say... knowing where in the Config panel it is, or turning it on during the computer's initial setup?
Computers also don't default to having a screen reader going, TVs don't usually default to having captions turned on (I'd personally love this being the norm, haha). It's a strange option to suddenly activate due to an arcane key combo. It'd be like turning on the magnifier because you quad-clicked on something.
If you had included the second sentence of your Edit in your first response I don't think you would have received a single downvote.
I left my downvote there because of the second to last sentence of the Edit. Apparently you think everyone should know about every single feature in Windows because it might be there for someone who is disabled, and blame them for not being aware.
I like the noise it makes when you do it.
PS: That's my favorite Spongebob scene. The delivery is great.
It always annoyed me because every month or so, after getting the pop up and disabling it, it would just show up again
Sticky keys and the windows key I always immediately disable.
The windows key is so super useful though. Not just for quickly starting or finding shit without using the mouse, but also for moving windows around, maximizing them, making them take up exactly half of your screen, locking your screen, etc.
I am very confused why anyone would disable the super/command key. Ever since moving to linux its become the most used key on my entire board.
Admittedly i am using a shortcut heavy tillable win manager. Blown away how fun it is to operate a pc keyboard only. (Overspendinging on nice keyboard switches also helps)
The Windows key as part of a combination is great. It's an extra modifier key.
The Windows key by itself is terrible because it immediately steals focus from the current application and can't be disabled without something like AutoHotkey.
I disabled Caps Lock. Some games map stuff to it, or I'd hit it instead of Shift and then when I need to type I'm the shouting moron.
Disabled the fuck out of Caps Lock. Not that hard (for me) to just hold shift if I needed that many caps.
