=== Accessibility features in mainstream software === Accessibility software can also make input devices easier to access at the user level. These include: * [[Keyboard shortcuts]] and [[MouseKeys]] allow the user to substitute keyboarding for mouse actions. [[Macro recorder]]s can greatly extend the range and sophistication of keyboard shortcuts. * [[Sticky keys]] allows characters or commands to be typed without having to hold down a [[modifier key]] (Shift, Ctrl, or Alt) while pressing a second key. Similarly, ClickLock<ref>Microsoft: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-xp/help/using-clicklock Using ClickLock]</ref> is a [[Microsoft Windows]] feature that remembers a mouse button is down so that items can be highlighted or dragged without holding the mouse button down while scrolling. * Customization of mouse or mouse alternatives' responsiveness to movement, double-clicking, and so forth. * [[ToggleKeys]]<ref>Microsoft: [https://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/access_togglekeys_turnon.mspx To turn on ToggleKeys]. Windows XP Professional Product Documentation.</ref> is a feature of Microsoft [[Windows 95]] onwards. A high sound is heard when the [[caps lock]], [[scroll lock]], or [[number lock]] key is switched on. A low sound is heard when any of those keys is switched off. * Customization of [[pointer (user interface)|pointer]] appearance, such as size, color, and shape. * [[Predictive text]] * [[Spell checker]]s and [[grammar checker]]s
