<title>Turn on sticky keys</title>
28
<p><em>Sticky keys</em> allows you to type keyboard shortcuts one key at a time
29
rather than having to hold down all of the keys at once. For example, the
30
<keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq> shortcut switches between
31
windows. Without sticky keys turned on, you would have to hold down both keys
32
at the same time; with sticky keys turned on, you would press <key>Alt</key>
33
and then <key>Tab</key> to do the same.</p>
35
<p>You might want to turn on sticky keys if you find it difficult to hold down
36
several keys at once.</p>

<p>Select <gui>Turn on accessibility features from the keyboard</gui> (above

<gui>Sticky Keys</gui>) to turn sticky keys on and off from the keyboard. When
56
this option is selected, you can press <key>Shift</key> five times in a row to
57
enable or disable sticky keys.</p>

<p>You can also turn sticky keys on and off by clicking the
61
<link xref="a11y-icon">accessibility icon</link> on the top bar and selecting
62
<gui>Sticky Keys</gui>.</p>
66
<p>If you press two keys at once, you can have sticky keys turn itself off
67
temporarily to let you enter a keyboard shortcut in the normal way.</p>
68
<p>For example, if you have sticky keys turned on but press <key>Alt</key> and <key>Tab</key> simultaneously, sticky keys would not wait for you to press another key if you had this option turned on. It <em>would</em> wait if you only pressed one key, however. This is useful if you are able to press some keyboard shortcuts simultaneously (for example, keys that are close together), but not others.</p>
69
<p>Select <gui>Disable if two keys are pressed together</gui> to enable this.</p>
71
<p>You can have the computer make a "beep" sound when you start typing a keyboard shortcut with sticky keys turned on. This is useful if you want to know that sticky keys is expecting a keyboard shortcut to be typed, so the next key press will be interpreted as part of a shortcut. Select <gui>Beep when a modifier key is pressed</gui> to enable this.</p>
