then the rest of the key sequence.

for Alt T, press Alt, then Alpha, then Alt again.

Sticky Keys

Sticky Key
Function
Ctl / Ctrl (Control key)
A Control sticky key press stays active until the Control key is pressed again. The Control
key enables the control functions of the keypad. This function is similar to a regular
keyboard’s Control key. Each time you need to use a Control function, you need to press the
Ctl / Ctrl key before pressing the desired key.
Alt (Alternate key)
An Alt sticky key press stays active until the Alt key is pressed again. The Alt key enables
the alternate functions of the keypad. This function is similar to a regular keyboard’s Alt key.
Each time you need to use an alternate function, you need to press the Alt key before
pressing the desired key.
Shft (Shift key)
A Shift key press ends a sticky key function. The Shft key enables the shifted functions of
the keypad. This function is similar to a regular keyboard’s Shift key. Note that the Shift key
only stays active for one keystroke. Each time you need to use a Shifted function, you need
to press the Shft key before pressing the desired key.
When the Shft key is pressed the next key is determined by the major key legends, i.e., the
alpha keys display lower case letters – when CAPS is On alpha characters are capitalized.
For example, when CAPS is On and the Shft key and the G key are pressed, a lower case g
is displayed.
