Wow, imagine being this condescending and still not explaining anything!

it lets you mimic holding down multiple buttons at a time while only holding down 1 button. Its primary use case is for people who would struggle holding down multiple buttons at once, as the person you are responding to said.

That isn't what they said. Someone could guess if they knew how sticky keys worked but there are many types of disabilites.

I sincerely appreciate it.

Maybe they didn’t explain everything that you wanted to know, but they were not replying to you. They were replying to OP.

OP wondered what Sticky Keys was for, not what it is. The comment answered that it is for anyone who might need it to operate a computer, while highlighting that the needs of that population are often forgotten or ignored.

If you want further clarification you are welcome to ask. You don’t have meet a perceived slight with further condescension.

Thanks. Next time someone asks about something, like say about a car part, and someone condescendingly replies that it’s for a car because they exist I will remember your courage and heroic defense of the above douchenozzle and proceed to do in the future what I did earlier.

Not everyone has knowledge of everything, and on a social platform it is common to share experiences and to converse about what you may have learned since them, or what you already knew that others might not. I skipped down to the credits to educate myself about sticky keys precisely because I didn’t know what they were for and had shared the aforementioned frustrating experience.

This attitude is one step away from coming to a social gathering of any sort and telling people to Google whatever they ask about instead of just having a conversation. Sometimes I worry that my social skills have slipped or evaporated until I come across a scene like this one.
