<title>
Turn on sticky keys
</title>
<p>
<em>Sticky keys</em> allows you to type keyboard shortcuts one key at a time
rather than having to hold down all of the keys at once. For example, the
<keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>Tab</key></keyseq> shortcut switches between
windows. Without sticky keys turned on, you would have to hold down both
keys at the same time; with sticky keys turned on, you would press
<key>Alt</key> and then <key>Tab</key> to do the same.
</p>
<p>
You might want to turn on sticky keys if you find it difficult to hold down
several keys at once.
</p>
<steps>

<p>
Click the icon at the very right of the <gui>menu bar</gui> and select
<gui>System Settings</gui>.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>
Open <gui>Universal Access</gui> and select the <gui>Typing</gui> tab.

Quickly turn sticky keys on and off
</title>
<p>
Under <gui>Enable by Keyboard</gui>, select <gui>Turn on accessibility
features from the keyboard</gui> to turn sticky keys on and off from the
keyboard. When this option is selected, you can press <key>Shift</key>
five times in a row to enable or disable sticky keys.
</p>
</note>
<p>
If you press two keys at once, you can have sticky keys turn itself off
temporarily to let you enter a keyboard shortcut in the normal way.
</p>
<p>
For example, if you have sticky keys turned on but press <key>Alt</key> and
<key>Tab</key> simultaneously, sticky keys would not wait for you to press
another key if you had this option turned on. It <em>would</em> wait if you
only pressed one key, however. This is useful if you are able to press some
keyboard shortcuts simultaneously (for example, keys that are close
together), but not others.
</p>
<p>
Select <gui>Disable if two keys are pressed together</gui> to enable this.
</p>
<p>
You can have the computer make a "beep" sound when you start typing a
keyboard shortcut with sticky keys turned on. This is useful if you want to
know that sticky keys is expecting a keyboard shortcut to be typed, so the
next key press will be interpreted as part of a shortcut. Select <gui>Beep
when a modifier key is pressed</gui> to enable this.
