text: i press "shift" 5 times and it display sticky keys. what are those for?   i get sticky keys when playing computer games.  i think the sticky keys are for disabled people who may not be able to hold down 2 keys at the same time, for example ctrl + f5, so it enables them to press them one at a time for the same effect.  kind of annoying when you are trying to avoid incoming sniper fire in the jungles of vietnam - suddenly the game window closes and the sticky keys option comes up.
