Turning off sticky keys is one of the first things I do after accidentally activating it during a raid and wiping the team.

The problem is that I always forget about it, until it inevitably triggers.

Imagine you are disabled and only have the use of one finger.

How do you press “Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V”?

Stickykeys allows you to use your one functioning finger to press Ctrl then release it, then press C and release it, and you’ll have done the equivalent of pressing both at the same time.

I use it to mine continuously in Minecraft without having to hold the mouse button myself.

It’s soooooooo easy to disable. The pop up for it even tells you how!

Sticky keys and the windows key I always immediately disable.

The windows key is so super useful though. Not just for quickly starting or finding shit without using the mouse, but also for moving windows around, maximizing them, making them take up exactly half of your screen, locking your screen, etc.

I am very confused why anyone would disable the super/command key. Ever since moving to linux its become the most used key on my entire board.

Admittedly i am using a shortcut heavy tillable win manager. Blown away how fun it is to operate a pc keyboard only. (Overspendinging on nice keyboard switches also helps)

The Windows key as part of a combination is great. It’s an extra modifier key.

The Windows key by itself is terrible because it immediately steals focus from the current application and can’t be disabled without something like AutoHotkey.
