Mouskeys Help

How do you get the computer to hold down ctrl?

Personally, I put a heavy object on it like book. There's probably a way to let the computer do it, but I don't know any.

This guide has a guide on Mousekeys.

 

Also next time, try the help & advice forum.

The feature you're looking for is called 'StickyKeys'.

 

In Windows XP, it can be found at this location: Start -> Control Panel -> Accessibility Options.

 

You'll want to both enabled the "Use StickyKeys" checkbox and configure the settings as appropriate to what you want. Easiest way to use would be "Press modifier key twice to lock", then simply Double-tap the Ctrl key to have it locked in the Held-down position. :)

 

Personally, I find StickyKeys pretty annoying to use as the Ctrl-key being held down makes doing the majority of other tasks a nuisance, even chatting! Instead, if I use MouseKeys, I remap the End key to act like Ctrl, allowing me to easily hold that down and use the Numpad for MouseKeys with the one hand when I need it, whilst still being able to easily do other tasks as Ctrl isn't always held down. ;)

Wakka's guide, which I believe is the one that Sonic linked to, contains an explanation for key mapping, which basically changes the function of a key on the keyboard. What pies meant by "remap" is that he changes the End key's function to mimic that of the Ctrl key, instead of its own.

 

Also keep in mind that you want to avoid turning StickyKeys on and off too rapidly, as it can lead to annoying glitches, e.g. not being able to type.

Ya mousekeys messes up my computer clock, not sure why.

I use Blutack. Sticks onto the CRLT button and lets me work freely (except on RS when you want to talk, you have to remove the Blutack <_< )
