Apple 10.5 Leapard manual To set the way the keyboard responds to keystrokes, Option Effect

Sticky Keys help users who can’t press multiple keys simultaneously. It treats a sequence of modifier keys (Shift, Command, Option, and Control) like a key combination. For example, to press Command-O, users can press Command and then O.

To hold down a key with multiple keystrokes, users can press the key twice. For example, pressing Shift twice is like using Caps Lock, except that it also presses Shift when entering commands. So if you’ve previously pressed Shift twice, then you press Command and then O, it’s the same as pressing Shift-Command-O (using Caps Lock instead of pressing Shift twice is like pressing Command-O). Pressing Shift a third time removes the Shift key from the current key combination.

If you set up Sticky Keys, you can make them more useful by enabling these options:

Option	Effect
Beep when a modifier key is set	Setting and holding a modifier key makes distinct typewriter
	sounds. Removing a key from the current key combination doesn’t
	create a sound.
Display pressed keys onscreen	When a modifier key is pressed, a silhouette of the modifier key is
	shown onscreen. If the modifier key is only active for a single press,
	its silhouette is dim. If the modifier key is in held-down mode, its
	silhouette is bright.

Slow Keys help users who press keys for too long or accidentally press keys. If you enable Slow Keys, you can set a delay when a key is accepted. If the user presses a key for less time than the acceptance delay, the keystroke isn’t accepted.

To help users recognize when their keystrokes are accepted, enable the “Use click sounds” option to play a sound when the user initially presses a key and a different sound when the key is accepted.

Note: If you enable Universal Access Shortcuts, a user can press the Shift key five times to turn Sticky Keys on or off. For more information, see “Enabling Universal Access Shortcuts” on page 230.
