Page 1: StickyKeys

Instead of pressing multiple keys at once such as shift and a letter, StickyKeys will 'lock' any shift, alt, or Ctrl key until another has been pressed.

Page 2: BounceKeys

Windows will ignore 'bouncing keys' that are caused by a tremor of the finger pressing the key you're after a number of times.

This will play a sound whenever you press a Locking key, such as Caps Lock.

A few Microsoft programs (including Word) will provide you with information on how to use the keyboard as a replacement to the mouse.

You can operate the cursor on the screen using the numeric keypad on your keyboard. It is, however, very slow and awkward. If you can't use a regular mouse it would be well worth your while booking a free assessment at Thomas Wolsey.

Page 6: Choose a Mouse Cursor

The standard mouse cursor is difficult to see. Here you have an option to change its colour and make it bigger.

You can download some high-visible cursors from my downloads page, but you will need to follow my Mouse Visibility tutorial to install them.

For left-handed users, you can swap the buttons around. This is more important than you might think as it allows the index finger to be used as the 'left click' rather than the second finger.

Page 8: Mouse Speed

The cursor glides across the screen far too fast for many users. You can adjust this speed, usually known as 'mouse sensitivity' so that the cursor moves more slowly.

Page 9: Mouse Trails

Mouse trails can help the visually impaired follow the cursor on screen. They also help those with cognitive difficulties.
