46 Advanced AlphaSmart 3000 Features
Sticky Keys
With Sticky Keys enabled, you can type combination keystrokes
without actually pressing the keys simultaneously. For example, you
could press option-x-S individually in order (instead of simultaneously
as a group) to get to the AlphaSmart Transfer Speed menu.
Sticky Keys affects the four modifier keys: shift, option, command (x),
and control. When Sticky Keys is enabled, pressing a modifier key effec-
tively keeps that key “pressed down” for the next normal key press. To
enable the Sticky Keys function, press option-x-K and then 2 to either
enable or disable Sticky Keys. This command works in stand-alone
mode only, not when the AlphaSmart 3000 is attached to a computer.
The current state of the shift, option, command, control, and caps lock
keys are shown in the lower right of the AlphaSmart 3000 screen. The
last five characters in the lower right corner of the display show which
keys are down and which keys are up.
• The right-most character is the caps lock indicator, and is solid
black if the caps lock key has been pressed. Caps lock is not
affected by the Sticky Keys settings.
• The second character from the bottom right corner is the com-
mand (x) key indicator. If the command key is down, a C will
be displayed here.
• The third character from the bottom right corner of the screen
is the option key indicator. If the option key is down, an O will
be displayed.
• The fourth character from the lower right corner of the screen is
the control key indicator. If the control key is down, a C will be
displayed here.
• The fifth character from the lower right corner of the screen is
the shift key indicator. If the shift key is down, an S will be dis-
played here.
