    It would be nice if the default wasn’t being on, or it asked during installation or something.

          It’s a hell of a lot easier to disable than it is to enable, especially if you’re not disabled. It’s a minor inconvenience once for us, but enabling it could be exceedingly difficult to overcome for someone else.

            Yea, a disabled person might have to get help to enable sticky keys if it wasn’t on by default. Most non-disabled people should not need help, unless they are so tech illiterate that they don’t know how to use Google.

            It’s a small annoyance that gets less annoying if you look at it from an empathetic viewpoint.

              Don’t you just press shift 7 times and then click yes? What can you even do on a keyboard if you can’t do that? It seems like they intentionally made it easier to enable than completing pretty much any other task on a keyboard.

          More one of those long ramps that switches back several times that you can ignore and take the stairs.

        Eh, many people use computers but are not the ones who installed the operating system (e.g. work, school, library, etc.). I think it’s likely more accessible to be able to enable the feature at any time, if needed. In my experience pressing shift five times generally only happens to me when playing games. I don’t know how often it pops with normal web browsing, email, etc.

      Put it into the notification bar instead of demanding focus. That way its on by default, but doesn’t interrupt, and is still easily accessible for those who need it.
