I am not going to add any feature that changes Windows global settings. It is a bad idea.

Perhaps there is some utility that can do it.

StickyKeys is the bane of my life, the number of times I've tapped Shift too often and the program I'm running (or even game) is rudely interrupted. I tend to turn off all that Accessibility stuff.

Just turn it off globally. This has to be the most useless "feature" of all time, how could anyone be stupid enough to implement this rubbish?

For example, if you wanted to use the copy function which is accessed by pressing the ‘Crtl’ and ‘C’ keys at the same time, Sticky Keys will allow you to activate this command by first pressing ‘Ctrl’, and then pressing ‘C’ after.
