Today's Quick Tip....
How to enable 'Sticky Keys' on your Mac
Do you have trouble using key combinations to perform tasks on your Mac?
Like when you press Shift+Command+5 to capture a screenshot?
Truth be told, pressing multiple keys at once can be quite difficult if you have a disability that affects the use of your hands and fingers.
Luckily, MacBooks and Mac desktop machines have a feature called 'Sticky Keys' that can help a lot.
In a nutshell, enabling Sticky Keys allows you to press the keys you would normally press together one at a time.
For example, to capture a screenshot you would first press the Shift key, then the Command key, followed the 5 key.
If need be, you can press them all with the same finger since you press them in sequence instead of all at the same time.
Want to give it a try? Just press the Shift key on your Mac's keyboard five times in a row to enable Sticky Keys.
To disable Sticky Keys just press the Shift key five times again.
