An alternative to trying to turn on the sticky keys function before selecting the points would be to purchase a mouse with programmable side buttons. I have a Logitech brand wireless mouse and it has two buttons on the side (using it right-handed) where my thumb would rest. I already tested it, using the software that comes with the mouse- you can program the side button to act as the shift key, or any keystroke or combo keystroke such as ctrl+x. Then all one would have to do would be to learn to use the thumb to hold down the side button while using the top mouse buttons to select the points. Here's the mouse I'm using: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2135,CONTENTID=8463 Hope that helps!
