Upper-Case Typing and Shift Key Coordination

I think "Sticky Keys" is the feature you're looking for -- it is included in to most operating systems these days. You can usually activate Sticky Keys in Windows XP by pressing the 'shift' key five times in a row. Use Google as needed to learn more.

Thanks to cmac for the tip. I wiil try it.

cmac is right...

And just so you know, you'll also have a "latching" effect on the other modifier keys, Ctrl and Alt, as well as the "Windows Logo" key.

This is not a "delay" as you asked, but it "holds the button down" for you until you press another key.

If you tap the modifier key twice, it will "lock" it down just like the Caps Lock key does, UNLESS you "uncheck" this option from the Settings dialogue. I'd recommend unchecking it.

While we're on settings, I'd recommend making sure the "Turn stickykeys OFF if two keys are pressed at once" box IS checked, so that way if you hit Shift+key correctly, it will react as you normally expect, and NOT hold down the Shift key for the NEXT key you press (resulting in an accidental "NAme" or "PLace").

Of course, there's always the old-fashioned solution..."practice" ;)
