What is StickyKeys?

StickyKeys

StickyKeys is a feature that enable you to press a modifier key (CTRL, ALT or SHIFT) and have it remain active until a non-modifier key is pressed. This is useful for people who have difficulty pressing two keys simultaneously. To turn on StickKeys, click "Accessibility Options" in the Control Panel, under StickyKeys click "Use StickyKeys".

to get stickkeys activated press the SHIFT KEY 5 TIMES and a message comes up on teh screen asking you if you want to keep stickkeys or deactivate it. this is a way better and easier shortcut than going thru accessibility options
