You pretty much summed it up. The sticky key feature is really designed for
people with limited finger mobility who have difficulty pressing multiple
keys at the same time. The advantage is that you can press one key at
atime. The disadvantage is that this is slower than pressing multiple keys
at a time. Try it and see if you like it. If not, just press the Shift key
five times to turn off sticky keys and return the keyboard to normal.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] sticky keys
hello
what are sticky keys and just what do they do?
jaws says if the shift key is pressed 5 times sticky keys can be enabled.
it says that keys like shift control etcetera can be pressed one at a
time.
does this mean i would no longer have to span my fingers across a keyboard
and end up with web fingers?
for example to use items in skype talking 9 the key commands are as
follows
alt control shift and the corresponding key required for the command you
wish to execute.
now does sticky keys mean that i can press alt key let go of it press
control key let go of it press shift key let go of it and then press the
required single key without holding on to the other 3 keys?
is there any other benefiting factors from using sticky keys and what are
the bad points of using this function
thank you
Yvonne
