"When Sticky Keys is active, OS X visually displays each modifier key in the sequence in the upper-right corner of the screen, accompanied by a sound effect, so you can verify the sequence and correct it (if needed) before it’s entered. When you press the last key in the sequence, OS X plays a sound, enters the keys as a chord, and removes the visual representation from the screen." Note that both of those behaviors are configurable. Key modifiers are actually overlaid on the screen, rendered semi-transparent, and can be dragged around with the mouse. Amazingly, I could find no screnshot of OSX online, so I include one here: https://plus.google.com/photos/102359747730797411333/albums/5834442142323280017?authkey=COm2pcqp847vLA Please let me know if that link doesn't work. I shan't remove it, but you're welcome to re-host it somewhere more sensible. I will reiterate that this is a serious issue for some, including me. It is the difference between disability and health. Currently, OS X and Windows appear to take such issues far more seriously - this has actually been a problem with linux (and thus Ubuntu) now for years. But if you got the right person (perhaps the person who coded sticky keys in the first place?) I imagine this is a couple hours of work to address. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773078 Title: Should display the StickyKeys status in some way (a11y) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/773078/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
