STICKYKEYS Structure

STICKYKEYS-type variables store information about the StickyKeys accessibility feature. StickyKeys allows the user to simply press modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift) before pressing another key instead of having to press them simultaneously. For example, to give a Ctrl-S command, the user would simple press and release Ctrl, then press S (instead of pressing S while holding Ctrl). This structure holds the settings of StickyKeys.
