# Sticky Keys

Holding two keys at once is hard with one hand or a weak grip. Tap **Shift**, **Ctrl**, or **Alt** on its own and it stays held, with a notice so you know. Tap it again to release it. Lock one, two, or all three to build combinations like Ctrl and Shift.

Holding a lock key while you press another key works as usual: the key is released when you let go.

Needs Rebind 3.5.0 or newer on Windows, macOS, or Linux. No extra permissions.

## Settings

- **First / Second / Third lock key:** defaults **Left Shift**, **Left Ctrl**, **Left Alt**. Any key can be a lock key. Restart the package after changing them.

## Limits

- The "locked" and "released" notices appear in Rebind. To see them on the desktop, turn on **Desktop notifications** in Rebind's settings; two notices within a second show only the first there. Linux shows them only inside Rebind.
- On macOS, whether letters you type pick up a locked Shift is unverified.
- Live use remains unverified on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

## Stop

Stopping the package releases every locked key. Stop it from the editor toolbar, or press **Left Ctrl + Left Alt + K** to stop all scripts.
