Bloody Sticky keys.

[Pommie]

Just press shift five times in a row and then try and get rid of this most annoying "feature" of windows. Be warned, I am not responsible for the outcome.

Huh. WHen I read the post I thought you had found bloody, sticky car keys outside lying on the ground.

I've noticed dknguyen's shift key seems to get stuck sometimes.

It isn't annoying but luckily I don't use Windows so often so I don't have to put up with this kind of crap.

Having said that, I'm using Windows at the moment.

 

[dknguyen]

Is that my keyboard? I always attributed it to a slow pinky finger or the fact that the rest of my fingers can type way faster than my left pinky can.

 

[Hero999]

What about using your right little finger for the shift key?

 

[dknguyen]

The ; where my right pinky rests is farther away from shift than the 'a' key where my left pinky rests. I dunno. I just have never used my right pinky for the shift key. But now that I am typing and paying attention, it seems I never use my right pinky to type any key! I seem to hold it higher than my other fingers. Sort of how people lift their pinky when they drink from a waterbottle or a teacup.

Just press the shift key five times again and sticky keys is off.

I you do not want the feature at all simply press shift 5 times and in the window that pops up select settings and you can permanently disable this and other accessibility options.

Again, as i have said before, i don't use windoz much any more. As a matter of fact, i just got Doom 3 running on my linux system! NATIVELY! Even though i don't like doom, i am still happy with the fact that it works...

Don't you just love those anoying windows "features"?

It's fun to tell people in an online game that it's a cheat.

Some people still fall for "PRESS ALT-F4 FO SOME GOOD CHEATZ!!!1!!1!1!1"

Yes, the above works. And it's hilarious.

Don't most online games sensor that? Yes, it is still pretty funny... I used to do it all the time at my school...

Sometimes I wanted to shut down using Windows key -> u -> u. But I pressed u before releasing the Windows key, try and see what happen Windows key + u. (I'm using XP)
