Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Oh, gather ’round, I’ll tell you true
About shortcuts that can trouble you
When single keys do too much work
One wrong press makes your screen go berserk!
Like when you speak “delete” out loud
Your voice command hits keys unbowed
Two point one point four keeps us free
From accidental key debris!
CHORUS:
Press and hold, don’t let go!
Add Control or Alt, that’s how we roll!
No more single-key surprise
Keep your shortcuts civilized!
Turn them off or change their way
That’s the accessible polka way!
VERSE 2:
For folks whose hands may shake or drift
A single key’s no welcome gift
They tap by chance, they press in error
Each mistaken click brings terror!
But give them options, let them choose
To disable what they’ll never use
Or pair those keys with modifiers
That’s what accessibility requires!
CHORUS:
Press and hold, don’t let go!
Add Control or Alt, that’s how we roll!
No more single-key surprise
Keep your shortcuts civilized!
Turn them off or change their way
That’s the accessible polka way!
BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
From speech to touch, we all deserve
Controls that work without unnerve
Consistency across the board
Makes every app a friend, not sword!
So dance this polka, spread the word
Let every user’s voice be heard!
