I don't know which implementation you use, but with Windows' built-in sticky key setup there is no change compared to the usual order of keys: press/release ctrl, press/release x, press/release ctrl, press/release f No need to press and release control twice at the beginning, so it's the same number of keypresses as the usual method, you only need to pay attention you release the previous key before pressing the next one. > This turns out to be easier on my hands because I don't find myself > contorting my hands across the keyboard while I try to hold down more > than one key at a time. Very true. Two keys should never be pressed with the same hand at the same time.
