I learned something new that may be helpful to you guys :)

This is probably one of old those things where everyone knows about this except for me, but I wanted to share anyway since this makes my life easier Smile I had to buy a new keyboard since my other one died on me yesterday. This new kb is great but the shift key is a little harder to press, so a lot of times when I needed to capitalize a letter, it wouldn't register. I did some research and learned that if you quickly tap the SHIFT key five times on your keyboard, a menu in Windows will appear displaying a few options.

If you enable the STICKY KEYS option, it allows you to press SHIFT once, and you can press another key a second or so later on and it will capitalize it without you having to hold down the shift key while pressing the key Very Happy I wish I would have known about this years ago. When programming, I need to hit the SHIFT and 4 key to create the dollar sign to represent a variable, and sometimes I press SHIFT and 4 and it just displays 4 instead. Or using the letter "i" instead of "I" due to this problem as well. I had to share this info to those who have the same problem of hitting the shift key to capitalize a letter and not always having it register.

So in short, the SHIFT key delay time is extended so you can tap it without having to hold it down to capitalize a letter. Oh yeah, be sure to go under the sticky key settings and turn off the option to disable it if two keys are pressed, since that usually turns off sticky keys accidentally.

Well, I wouldn't say that you're the only one who doesn't know FuN, but among all of the computer geeks I hang out with (including myself) just about everyone I know is aware of this. But I'd say over 80% of people with PCs don't know about this. There are actually plenty of these little options, there's one for holding Shift for like 10 seconds, and there are some other cool things in control panel like the mouse emulator and whatnot.


I for one, dislike it. You can access it via the control panel if you need it, and with the hotkey (tapping shift 5 times) enabled, I end up playing a game where Shift is the bloody jump button and five minutes into the game windows pops up and goes "lol u spammed teh shift key noob, give me teh sticky keys" which defocuses the window with the game in it, subsequently causing me to lose the game.... Mad

This.

A lot of the crap that windows has built into it like that is rarely, if ever, actually useful. The mouse emulator is probably the most common one I use, just because there are times in which I don't have access to a mouse. Just because most of my mice are wireless and connecting them to a new computer is a pain.

I only found out what this was because of emulators XD


I used the shift key to speed them up and sometimes I'd press it continuously and the damned sticky things would come out >_<


So I always had to disable it XD

But yeah... it happens. I'm a winXP user myself and even I hate it, but I can't get used to linux... it's a matter of habit I guess. And I don't like changes Smile

Ah, the humor! Laughing

Well, that little tip was just one of many other PC-things that I don't know anything about. xD So FuN wasn't completely alone on that one.
