Sticky keys allows you to type keyboard shortcuts one key at a
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
time rather than having to hold down all of the keys at once. For example,
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
the <keyseq><key xref="keyboard-key-super">Super</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq>
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
shortcut switches between windows. Without sticky keys turned on, you would
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
have to hold down both keys at the same time; with sticky keys turned on, you
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
would press <key>Super</key> and then <key>Tab</key> to do the same.
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
You might want to turn on sticky keys if you find it difficult to hold
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
down several keys at once.

<title>Quickly turn sticky keys on and off</title>

Under <gui>Enable by Keyboard</gui>, select
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
<gui>Turn on accessibility features from the keyboard</gui>
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
to turn sticky keys on and off from the keyboard. When this option is
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
selected, you can press <key>Shift</key> five times in a row to enable or
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
disable sticky keys.
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
You can also turn sticky keys on and off by clicking the
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
<link xref="a11y-icon">accessibility icon</link> on the top bar and
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
selecting <gui>Sticky Keys</gui>. The accessibility icon is visible when
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
one or more settings have been enabled from the <gui>Universal Access</gui>
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
panel.

</note>
|
|
Packit Bot |

|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
If you press two keys at once, you can have sticky keys turn itself off
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
temporarily to let you enter a keyboard shortcut in the normal way.
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
For example, if you have sticky keys turned on but press <key>Super</key>
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
and <key>Tab</key> simultaneously, sticky keys would not wait for you to
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
press another key if you had this option turned on. It would wait if
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
you only pressed one key, however. This is useful if you are able to press
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
some keyboard shortcuts simultaneously (for example, keys that are close
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
together), but not others.
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
Select <gui>Disable if two keys are pressed together</gui> to enable
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
this.
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
You can have the computer make a “beep” sound when you start typing a
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
keyboard shortcut with sticky keys turned on. This is useful if you want to
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
know that sticky keys is expecting a keyboard shortcut to be typed, so the
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
next key press will be interpreted as part of a shortcut. Select <gui>Beep
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
when a modifier key is pressed</gui> to enable this.
