    Sticky keys [Resolved]

    Something I've never figured out.

    What is the purpose of the Windows Sticky Keys?

    Simple, no?

    It's an accessibility thing - if you have trouble holding down keys and pressing others at the same time that's where sticky keys comes in (holds it for you). We kind of take that kind of thing for granted - but it's very important for some disabilities.

    Chop off one of your hands and you'll find out.

    MS actually have a responsibility now to include applications in Windows like magnifier, sticky keys, narrator, etc for people with limited mobility and phyisical functions.

    Not to mention that in .NET you actually can program Accessibility properties and assign keypress sequences, etc.
