WORKING WITH STICKY KEYS ON YOUR COMPUTER
Sticky Keys enables the user to enter key combinations by pressing keys in sequence rather than simultaneously. This will benefit users who are unable to press or have difficulty pressing shortcut key combinations.
Turning On Sticky Keys
Sticky Keys may be turned on via either of the two following ways:
VIA THE CONTROL PANEL
- Open the Ease of Access control panel via the instructions above and click on Change how your keyboard works.
- Check the box labeled Turn on Sticky Keys, and click OK (Figure 1).

BY PRESSING THE SHIFT KEY FIVE TIMES
Without pressing other keys, press the SHIFT key five times to enable Sticky Keys. A window will be displayed asking you if you wish to turn on Sticky Keys (Figure 2). Clicking Yes will enable Sticky Keys.
