Wow, what a disproportionate and oddly vicious response to a very innocuous suggestion.

Nowhere in my comment did I suggest that sticky keys simply shouldn't exist. I was specifically responding to the OP talking about Ctrl-C/V and suggesting that a programmable keyboard would be a better solution for that, since you can turn 7 keystrokes into 1, since I expect that reducing the number of keystrokes one has to type is probably pretty valuable for someone in this situation. There are a lot of standard keybinds in an OS that could be handled this way. Obviously you can't do this for every keybinds in existence. But again, the OP was talking about standard OS keybinds. Admittedly, I forgot sticky keys are a toggle, so it's not as many keystrokes after the first time, but still, there are common key sequences that would be more challenging to hit, like Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

If someone is trying to use a public computer, by all means, use sticky keys. Again, I never said it shouldn't exist or people should never use it. I was pretty obviously talking about the normal case: using a workstation/laptop at work/home. It's kind of implied when referring to an external keyboard, since you don't usually bring those places. Don't really know why you're talking about public computers.

The rest of your weirdly personal attacks are all against a strawman you've constructed, so I don't really need to address them.

Your post was this:

TIL about what sticky keys are for, but tbh in that case the person should really just use a programmable keyboard and map individual keys to those sequences.

Your post was one single sentence and I absolutely came away with the idea that you were suggesting that StickyKeys shouldn't exist because you found it a bother. With the responses from others I wasn't alone in my reading of your comment.

It wasn't obvious at all.

You skipped three or four different steps to communicate to the audience about your intent. With your extra explanation, I see where you're coming from where you were focusing on solutioning for one specific example given for a use case of StickyKeys. However, your solutioning was too narrow in assuming the requirements included the disabled operator would only be using hardware they control 100%. There are many times that isn't the case, such as public computers at a public library, computers in a business center at a hotel, or various kiosk-based computers businesses use to collect input for scheduling or surveys. In those cases, the operator doesn't control the hardware at all.
