Using your keyboard one-handed

This section explains how you can change Windows settings to make using the keyboard one-handed easier using ' StickyKeys'

Introduction

Many people use a computer keyboard with one hand, with a typing wand grasped in a fist, or using a mouth stick so programs that need you to press two or three keys at one time to carry out commands such as saving a document (you need to press ' Ctrl ' + ' S ' ) , can be difficult, uncomfortable or just impossible to do with a standard keyboard setup.

Windows has a useful feature called ' StickyKeys ' built in which makes the modifier keys (for example ' Ctrl ', ' Alt ' and ' Shift ') 'sticky'. In other words it allows you to press one key at a time and tells Windows to respond as if the keys had been pressed simultaneously.
