Accessibility keyboard shortcuts

In a computer running on Microsoft Windows, you can set system accessibility options to change the way you work. For example, you can use Windows Sticky Keys if you have difficulty holding down two or more keys at a time, such as Ctrl+P. Sticky Keys enable you to press the Ctrl key and have it remain active until you press the P.
