speakup and sticky keys

I would find the keymap you are loading and modify it as follows (either
add the lines, or modify any that are already there):
keycode 29 = SCtrl
keycode 42 = SShift
keycode 56 = SAlt

These modifications will make your left Ctrl, Shift, and Alt keys work as
a sticky key. You can press and release them and the next character will
behave as if they are held down. They don't lock though. You can find more
information about this in section 15.1 of the
Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO. In fact the article tells you how to do all
kinds of cool and exciting stuff with your keyboard. As a word of warning,
changes in one console act accross the board. So don't figure that you can
change virtual consoles to bail out.
