Message-ID: <20000630074228.A2512@shadowmere.student.utwente.nl> Reply-To: daeron@shadowmere.student.utwente.nl Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, A co-worker of mine who is mobilly handicapped, uses a Windows "Accessibillity option" called "Sticky Keys" ... so he can still operate his keyboard normally, using ... let's call it a "straw" and his mouth. What this does is basically the following: - Pressing SHIFT/CONTROL/ALT once makes that key "active" until the next keystroke. - Pressing SHIFT/CONTROL/ALT twice makes that key "active" until it is pressed a third time. He and I have been wondering if such functionality would also be available already or "easily" to be implemented, so he might actually be able to use a Unix environment to work with instead of a Windows one. -- Pascal Hofstee < daeron @ shadowmere . student . utwente . nl > Managers know it must be good because the programmers hate it so much.
