While this makes it possible for users with disabilities to easily input keyboard shortcuts, Microsoft recognizes that it’s not desirable to leave Sticky Keys enabled all the time, as there are many cases in which a user would hit one of these modifier keys just once without the need to have the input “stick” while Windows waits for the additional key presses. As its name suggests, this feature allows the command of a modifier key - Shift, Control, Alt, or the Windows key - to “stick” for a short period of time, allowing the user to successfully input a multi-key shortcut by pressing one key at a time. For users with certain disabilities, however, it may be difficult or impossible to press multiple keys at once. For example, pressing Control-Alt-Delete to log-in to certain versions of Windows, or Alt-F4 to close the active application window. In the case of Windows, the steps in this article will cover Windows 10, but Sticky Keys has been part of the operating system since Windows 95.Īs most Windows users know, keyboard shortcuts are useful (and in some cases required) commands that involve the user pressing multiple keys simultaneously. Sticky Keys is an important accessibility feature in many different operating systems, including macOS, most Linux distributions, and Windows.
