Turning StickyKeys On and Off

StickyKeys is designed for people who have difficulty holding down two or more keys at a time. For people who type using a single finger or a mouthstick, StickyKeys allows the user to press one key at a time and instructs Windows to respond as if the keys are pressed simultaneously.

When a shortcut requires a key combination such as CTRL+P, StickyKeys will enable you to press one key at a time instead of pressing them simultaneously.
