but tbh in that case the person should really just use a programmable keyboard

So a disabled person should be expected to carry a programmable keyboard with them in case they ever encounter a computer in public they want to use? You think a person that has a disability that may only give them one functioning finger should be able to easily plug in a programmable keyboard to a public computer? What if that "one figure functional" isn't even a finger and instead a stick they use with their mouth to type? How easy will it be for them to plug in a custom keyboard they carry?

Should a wheelchair bound disabled person also be expected to carry a wheelchair ramp in case there isn't one installed on a building where they might need to enter?

and map individual keys to those sequences.

WHICH individual key sequences? The point of building this into the OS is that any application developer can write an application and know that the operator has full use of the keyboard. If the application developer includes some non-standard multi-key keystroke, the OS can still handle it for the operator with Stickykeys. What you're suggesting is that the disabled person be burdened with programming in each sequence custom in their own keyboard.

Why are you advocating that the disabled should be burdened? What is so horrible about Stickykeys to you that the disabled people should have to go without? If it bothers you so much on your PC, why don't you just disable Stickykeys in a Group Policy?

It helps to know it's there and can be turned on on public computers by pressing shift 5 times.

I mostly just game on my PC and accidentally pressing the windows key can minimize the game screen.

The windows key is the best key for determining whether or not your keyboard disconnected, or if windows itself has locked up.

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)

What irks me is that this opinions are always from abled bodied white dudes from The Gamers™ demographic that feel the need to act as if someone having a nice thing that might slightly inconveniences their gaming sesh once is somehow an alien feature meant to hurt them. The absolute lack of empathy is palpable through the screen.

Sir, this is a meme board. I was on my commute. I have no accountability to randos on the internet.

Why would a mobility-limited person even think that was how you turn it on?

Because it is a standard PC feature codified by ISO, present in all computers since 1994 that was specifically required by organizations for the rights of people with disabilities who had to fight the tech giants for it based on the direct feedback from people with disabilities, and sometimes was implemented in secrecy by rogue developers who believed on it.

Maybe they didn’t explain everything that you wanted to know, but they were not replying to you. They were replying to OP.

OP wondered what Sticky Keys was for, not what it is. The comment answered that it is for anyone who might need it to operate a computer, while highlighting that the needs of that population are often forgotten or ignored.

If you want further clarification you are welcome to ask. You don’t have meet a perceived slight with further condescension.

it lets you mimic holding down multiple buttons at a time while only holding down 1 button. Its primary use case is for people who would struggle holding down multiple buttons at once, as the person you are responding to said.

I somehow thought it was a Windows thing, but being an accessability feature of course isn’t.

I was also joking because it seems to be 90% of our comments to suggest using linux😅
