Set asynchronous keys (sticky keys) in Windows

Microsoft has a wide range of tools in Windows, such as Sticky Keys (asynchronous keys), designed to increase functionality and ease of accessibility to system tools.

In other words, you don't need to install third-party apps to make Windows more flexible, for example being able to use voice commands, or move the mouse with your keyboard. Among these tools are asynchronous keys, a second-rate feature of Windows, but for some maybe it's just what they need.

At least you need to know what it is, and how it works if you need it.

On the other hand, this caused a problem for some that while they were playing an electronic game by repeatedly pressing the Shift key, a window appeared that minimized and at the same time interrupted the flow of the game.

However, the asynchronous keys intention is to help ordinary users, making the keyboard easy to use.

Despite the protests, asynchronous keys are still part of your operating system, so do not rush to hate or judge them if you do not first see what they can do:

Working with Asynchronous Windows Keys ( Sticky Keys )

step 1: Press the SHIFT key five times until a pop-up window appears on your screen.

step 2: Follow the link “Go to Ease of Access Center to turn off keyboard”.

step 4: In the Keyboard Shortcut section, choose not to display a warning message when you enable a setting so that the message no longer appears in Step 1 when Sticky Keys are triggered through Shift.

step 5: Sticky Keys is deactivated immediately when two keys are pressed at the same time, or else you will have to go back to "Setting Asynchronous Keys" via the control panel.

step 6 (optional): Check the “Show asynchronous keys icon in the bar ” to know the exact situation and quickly switch to it.

Result of Asynchronous Keys: By activating the asynchronous keys the keys Ctrl, Alt, Shift, The estate provides stunning sea views and offers a unique blend of luxury living and development potential Delete which may be used as shortcut key combinations, will work by rotation like Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock.

That is, you should no longer hold them to indicate a combination of keys (say Ctrl and S), but once you press Ctrl, it will be permanently pressed (from there, it is enough to press S to make the combination of the example).

If you press the Ctrl key again then it is considered permanently uninhibited.

Note: By pressing an asynchronous key once, this button will only be pressed once. Pressing the key twice keeps it active until it is turned off manually by pressing it for the last time.

Tips:
- The appearance of the icon on the taskbar lets you know what state each key is currently in
- Ctrl + Alt + Del does not require you to hold down all the buttons at the same time.
- Pressing the two asynchronous keys together, ie Ctrl, Alt, Shift or Del, turns them off completely.
- Activation is done by pressing Shift 5 times.
- An icon as well as a warning sound will let you know when Sticky Keys are active and when not.
