Microsoft has at Windows a wide variety of tools, such as Sticky Keys (asynchronous keys), which aim to increase functionality and ease of accessibility to system tools.
In other words, you do not need to install third-party applications to make Windows more flexible, for example, to be able to use voice commands, or to move the mouse with your keyboard. These tools include asynchronous keys, a second-class Windows function, but for some users it may be 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 feature has created a problem for some gamers that while playing an electronic game by repeatedly pressing the Shift key, a window was minimized 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 all the protests, asynchronous keys are still a part of your operating system, so don't be too quick to hate or judge them if you don't see what they can do first:
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 the Easy Access Center to turn off the keyboard shortcut".
Alternatives: Go to Control Panel and click on Ease of Access. Click the Easy Access Center link, and scroll down. Find and click on "Make the keyboard easier to use".
step 3: Check the box that says "Activate Asynchronous Keys".
step 4: In the Keyboard Shortcut section, choose not to display a warning message when activation a setting so that the message in Step 1 no longer appears when Sticky Keys are enabled via 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): Select "Show asynchronous key icon on taskbar" to know the exact status and toggle quickly.
Result of Asynchronous Keys: By activating the asynchronous keys the keys Ctrl, Alt, Shift, and Delete which may be used as key combinations shortcut, they will work in rotation like the 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 we will let you know when Sticky Keys are active and when they are not.
