What does sticky keys do?

Answer 1

There are people with limited use of their fingers who can't hold down more than one key at a time. This makes it hard for them to issue a Print (command-P) or New Document (command-N) command, or Cut (command-X), Copy (command-C) and Paste (command-V) things into place.

Sticky Keys makes the computer think the modifier keys (shift, command, option, control, alt) are held down until you push the key they're modifying. So...if you want to do Print Setup in Acrobat (command-shift-P) you can push the command key, the shift key and the P one at a time rather than having to hold them all down at once.
