How to Use Sticky Keys in Windows

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Dave Andrews. Today, I'm going to show you how to use Sticky Keys in Windows. Let's go to the computer. Sticky Keys is a function that was added by Microsoft, for accessibility. Sometimes you have to press the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys on your computer, or the Alt and F4 key, or just any combination of keys. It might be difficult for some people. One way to turn the Sticky Keys on, is to press the Shift key five times. It will then pop up a Sticky Keys message, that says, Do you want to turn on Sticky Keys? We're going to say Yes. I'm going to show you one example of what you might need to use it for. I'm going to open up the computer window, and to close a window, you can hold down the Alt key, and press F4, but since we have Sticky Keys turned on, I can simply press the Alt key, not hold it down, and then press F4 button. That acts as though I was holding down the Alt key, when I pressed F4. To turn Sticky Keys off, just press the shift key five times again, and it's off. My name is Dave Andrews, and I've just showed you how to use Sticky Keys, in Windows."
