M&G Breaks Everything (well, almost)
dragoness:
Sticky keys is helpful when, for whatever reason, you find you cannot hold one key and press another reliably. I've used it in the past. One does what one must when the alternative is staying off the computer entirely. ::)
SaraMK:
But then you have to do extra mouse maneuvers to get the popup off your screen. ??? That was my experience with it, until I figured out where to turn it off. I didn't know it existed until I got a computer with Vista. It was on by default. And it screamed at me about permissions when I tried to make it stop with the unwanted popups. :-\
dragoness:
Strange, I have no idea what popups you speak of. Ultimately I had to switch from attempting one-handed keyboard-only usage to using the mouse and the on-screen keyboard, so maybe I didn't have it on long enough to provoke these popups?
Faizah:
Sticky keys always sounded, to me, like the equivalent of jamming up the keyboard's inner workings so that one key was held consistently down, only some programmer managed to find a way to make it even more annoying than that.
I come across it most (in XP) when playing games, particularly if the shift key is connected to something (like, say, fire) that I may want to just hold down, to compensate for my own gamer failings. I get a pop-up saying I have held the shift key for X seconds, do I want sticky keys turned on, etc.
SaraMK:
Exactly.
