I don't know which implementation you use, but with Windows' built-in 
sticky key setup there is no change compared to the usual order of keys:


press/release ctrl, press/release x, press/release ctrl, press/release f


No need to press and release control twice at the beginning, so it's the
same number of keypresses as the usual method, you only need to pay
attention you release the previous key before pressing the next one.

Very true. Two keys should never be pressed with the same hand at the 
same time.
