Session

The Session category contains general settings related to the application’s behavior while in a session.

    • This option is enabled by default.
  • Sticky modifiers: With this option enabled, modifiers on the touch keyboard remain engaged until they are intentionally toggled off.
    • This option is enabled by default.
