What are Sticky Keys?
The main purpose of creating Sticky Keys was to help and let physically challenged people use the computer keyboard with ease.
Sticky Keys enable the modifier keys like Shift, Ctrl, Tab, and, Alt, etc, to stay active all the time without the need to press them again and again along with the other key.
Whenever a user presses a modifier key, it goes into the “keypress lock” state that comes into action when Sticky Keys are turned on. The pressed key remains active until another key is stroked. This simplifies the physically disabled people to access the functions involved using the modifier keys. This also has Auditory Feedback like a sound notification to let the user know that the Sticky Keys are turned on.
