Stickykeys mode - hold modifiers and subsequent key presses for x ms.

Open rbreaves opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I recently purchased a thumb driven gpd micropc - but am realizing its usability, while great already, would be greatly improved if holding down modifiers weren't actually always required. I've largely thought stickykeys were pointless - but not really, not for people that can't use hotkeys in the traditional way or a thumb driven experience.

I wish enabling stickykeys on the distro level was enough, but I think this logic will have to be handled in app.

Please give some examples of sticky keys for those of us who don't necessarily immediately understand what you mean or the behavior you're seeking.

Definition of sticky keys exist here, but all I’m saying is it’d be a nice addition to have a stickykey toggle &/or mode.

Personally I’ve never understood it but from an accessibility standpoint or thumb driven keypad, or maybe 1 handed keyboard or chorded input device stickykeys make perfect sense imo.
