If you have difficulty in pressing two or more keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Windows Logo Key…) at the same time, it is recommended for you to turn on Sticky Keys in your PC. Then you are able to press one key at a time to achieve the same goal. For example, after selecting the text, you can first press Ctrl, and then hit C to finish the copy operation, instead of pressing them at the same time. Furthermore, for your convenience, this article will tell you how to turn on and turn off Sticky Keys on Windows 8.

Press Shift key five times to open the Sticky Keys dialog box and select Yes to turn it on.
Way 2: Turn it on from Ease of Access Center.
Step 1: Right-click the bottom left corner to open the Quick Access Menu and choose Control Panel to access it.
