You're aware that Ctrl and Alt are multitouch capable? You can press and hold 
Ctrl, and then press other keys which will all be modified until you release 
Ctrl.

I'm a bit split on this issue. Adding lock support for ctrl and alt would not 
be very difficult in the code, but it should not be on by default since people 
may get the keys stuck accidentally. I'm not keen on adding additional options 
to control this behavior at runtime, the options menu is already very cluttered.

I'd prefer to defer this until I have support for customizable keymaps, where 
it would be easy to support "Ctrl" and "lockable Ctrl" as distinct keys that 
users could choose to assign in their keymaps.

HI..

I know, i can press and hold ctrl, and thre press other keys which will all be 
be modified until you release ctrl.

In just two to hold down the key is just inconvenient that look source code on 
vim.

I am looking at this app for use by people with disabilities, but sticky keys 
would be a must.   If you are controlling a pc with sticky keys on, it may 
work, but I want to be able to turn an android device into a usb keyboard & 
mouse for plug in & go accessibility to computers in a work or school 
environment.
