[gui-talk] Needing Advice for a Visually Impaired Individual/Looking for a One-Handed Keyboard

[David Andrews]

One possible solution is in Windows itself, "sticky keys" when turned 
on, keys like shift, control, alt, are engaged until you hit another 
key. You get into it by pressing shift 5 times fast. So do do a 
control-a, with sticky keys you would hit control, then a after it.
