<title>Turn on sticky keys</title>
36
<p><em>Sticky keys</em> allows you to type keyboard shortcuts one key at a
37
time rather than having to hold down all of the keys at once. For example,
38
the <keyseq><key xref="keyboard-key-super">Super</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq>
39
shortcut switches between windows. Without sticky keys turned on, you would
40
have to hold down both keys at the same time; with sticky keys turned on, you
41
would press <key>Super</key> and then <key>Tab</key> to do the same.</p>
43
<p>You might want to turn on sticky keys if you find it difficult to hold
44
down several keys at once.</p>
48
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-terminology">Activities</gui> overview and
49
start typing <gui>Universal Access</gui>.</p>
52
<p>Click on <gui>Universal Access</gui> to open the panel.</p>
55
<p>Press <gui>Typing Assist (AccessX)</gui> in the <gui>Typing</gui>
59
<p>Switch <gui>Sticky Keys</gui> to <gui>On</gui>.</p>
64
<title>Quickly turn sticky keys on and off</title>
65
<p>Under <gui>Enable by Keyboard</gui>, select
66
<gui>Turn on accessibility features from the keyboard</gui>
67
to turn sticky keys on and off from the keyboard. When this option is
68
selected, you can press <key>Shift</key> five times in a row to enable or
69
disable sticky keys.</p>
70
<p>You can also turn sticky keys on and off by clicking the
71
<link xref="a11y-icon">accessibility icon</link> on the top bar and
72
selecting <gui>Sticky Keys</gui>. The accessibility icon is visible when
73
one or more settings have been enabled from the <gui>Universal Access</gui>
77
<p>If you press two keys at once, you can have sticky keys turn itself off
78
temporarily to let you enter a keyboard shortcut in the normal way.</p>
80
<p>For example, if you have sticky keys turned on but press <key>Super</key>
81
and <key>Tab</key> simultaneously, sticky keys would not wait for you to
82
press another key if you had this option turned on. It <em>would</em> wait if
83
you only pressed one key, however. This is useful if you are able to press
84
some keyboard shortcuts simultaneously (for example, keys that are close
85
together), but not others.</p>
87
<p>Select <gui>Disable if two keys are pressed together</gui> to enable
90
<p>You can have the computer make a "beep" sound when you start typing a
91
keyboard shortcut with sticky keys turned on. This is useful if you want to
92
know that sticky keys is expecting a keyboard shortcut to be typed, so the
93
next key press will be interpreted as part of a shortcut. Select <gui>Beep
94
when a modifier key is pressed</gui> to enable this.</p>
