Modifier keys and Sticky keys:modes and settings
Use Modifier keys to modify the action of another pressed key, while you press-hold the modifier key.
Modifier keys can be used in combinations, with more than one modifier key pressed at the same time.
The modifier keys are:
l the Fn key
l
the Shift ( ) key
l the Ctrl key
l the AGr key
Since the device is normally hand-held, it can be difficult to press multiple keys on the built-in keyboard
at the same time. To make the keyboard easier to use, you can set the modifier keys to be Sticky keys.
NOTE – You can also set the Search key to be a Sticky key.
When Sticky keys are enabled, the modifier keys “stick down” when pressed so that you do not need to
press-hold a modifier key while you press the other key(s), allowing multiple key combinations to be
pressed sequentially.
To configure Modifier / Sticky key behavior, go to Settings / System / Languages & input / Physical
keyboard / Built-in Keyboard / Sticky Keys. If Sticky key behavior is off, move the Sticky modifier
keys slider to the right to turn on Sticky key behavior.
l On (default) = Sticky key behavior is enabled. Modifier keys "stick down" when pressed, and stay
active until you press a non-modifier key.
l Off = Sticky key behavior is disabled. To access modified key functions, you must press-hold the
required Modifier key and then press the other key you want. E.g. press-hold Shift then press an
alpha key to access the capital letter.
The different Sticky key modes / settings and behavior of the modifier keys when Sticky key behavior is
enabled is described below.
l The Search key is used as a non-modifier key to open the Android Search function. You can make it
non-sticky by turning this option Off.
l Off (default): Search key is not a sticky key. Because the Search key is sometimes used in a
non-modifier fashion this control allows the Search key to not be sticky while the other keys
remain sticky.
l On: Search key is a sticky key.
l Lock modifier keys when pressed twice in quick succession. You can set a modifier key to be
locked down indefinitely by turning this setting On; when you then press a modifier key twice, it
locks down until you press the key a third time.
l Off (default): Modifier keys are released when pressed two times in quick succession. Normal
Sticky keys mode: Temporarily latch modifier key when pressed. Pressing and releasing a
modifier key one time latches the modifier key state down until a non-modifier key is pressed at
