"Sticky Keys"

I was just curious if any others in the group have ever applied MS
Windows "Sticky Keys" to make controlling their Windows based CNC
controls easier. (accessability options)

I tried Sticky Keys some time ago, forgot about them, and now am using
them again. I changed out my full size keyboard for a small one and now
some key combinations are less accessable. So I figured I give another
go at using them.

They work quite well now that I am getting used to them. I am using
FlashCut for a control. In FlashCuts case, you are required to hold
down the CTRL key before you can Jog the machine with an Arrow or
pgUp-pgDn key. With Sticky Keys enabled, I can single press the key for
a single event, or double press the CTRL key to lock it on. Locking it
on keeps all Jog keys alive and active. No more finger based contortion.
So far I have not caused any undo damage or had any unexpected motion
happen so that is a plus.

Just Curious if any others have tried it.
