Sticky keys is an accessibility feature of some graphical user interfaces which assists users who have physical disabilities or helps users reduce repetitive strain injury. It serializes keystrokes; instead of being required to press multiple keys at a time, the user can press and release a modifier key, such as Script error: No such module "key"., Script error: No such module "key"., Script error: No such module "key"., or the Script error: No such module "key"., and have it remain active until any other key is pressed.

Sticky keys functionality is available on/in Microsoft Windows, macOS, chromeOS and KDE Plasma as Sticky Keys,[1][2] and on Unix/X11 systems as part of the AccessX utility.[3][4]
