Difficulty in pressing multiple keys simultaneously
In our day-to-day life, we do a lot of multi-tasking. For example, we try to press keys with one hand and the other hand is busy holding the phone. In such a situation we feel, can't we press one key at a time instead of pressing multiple keys simultaneously?
Windows XP allows you to press one key a time instead of a key combination to perform a task. Windows XP includes the ‘StickyKeys’ feature, which allows users to press one key at a time and carry out the required task.
StickyKeys are helpful for people with mobility disabilities such as those with limited hand movement who find it difficult to press multiple keys at the same time. StickyKeys are also useful for people who are working with one hand due to short term injury and those who are multi-tasking i.e. one hand holding the phone and other on the keyboard. In addition, StickyKeys are helpful for senior citizens as well.
For example, if you want to press Alt + CTRL + Delete keystroke, with StickyKeys turned on, you can press Alt, Control and Delete key individually and carry out the task.
