[edit] Correct writing
Under Windows this options is actually called "StickyKeys" without any space in bewteen.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.31.11.24 (talk) 13:18, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Contradictory article
This article contradicts itself, saying both there is no way to turn it off after giving directions on how to turn it off. I tried. It is quite easy to turn it off. I wonder if it becomes harder when one does not make a valid attempt? Kyujuni (talk) 09:13, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
It becomes harder to turn off when you try to follow the instructions as written. Specifically the Windows text says "two keys at once" when in reality only pressing both shift keys at once turn the misnamed "feature" off. Sometimes Microsoft is more adept at being soft on forethought and hard on usability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.236.143.130 (talk) 19:46, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Mac OS and Easy Access
I read this article, but was sure I recalled seeing the sticky keys feature in a version of the Mac OS prior to Windows 95. I've done some digging and turned up an old Apple article which suggests that a system update present on Macs from 1994 provided an update to this feature: "Updates the Easy Access Control Panel to version 7.2, fixing a wake up problem on PowerBooks. It now remembers whether sticky keys, mouse keys, and slow keys were on or off between restarts." This suggests the sticky keys functionality was available prior to this update.

Further to this, I have found a copy of the Macintosh Classic user guide on the Apple support site here which indicates that Sticky Keys (with the space) was present in the system software that shipped with the Classic in 1990-1992. Sadly the document is itself undated. Gaspodog (talk) 17:05, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
