ToggleKeys is a feature of Microsoft Windows. It is an accessibility function which is designed for people who have vision impairment or cognitive disabilities. When ToggleKeys is turned on, the computer will provide sound cues when the locking keys (Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock) are pressed. A high-pitched sound plays when the keys are switched on and a low-pitched sound plays when they are switched off.

History

Microsoft first introduced ToggleKeys with Windows 95. The feature is also used in later versions of Windows.

Enabling

Press the Num Lock key for 5 seconds while holding. This feature can also be turned on and off via the Accessibility icon in the Windows Control Panel or via Windows Settings.
