    Windows Hotkey re-assign for magnification.


    Windows Version: 21H1

    I need to use the magnification option using Win+"+" key combination. Getting tired of that. It's because I'm using a TV from a distance. It's perfect for my needs except when reading is needed in - for example - menus and whatnot.

    Goal: I want to assign a single key to enable magnification. What are my options? (The "=" has my favor).

    Cheers and happy new year!

    Autohotkey app would be one option.

    Thank you, I'll keep it as an option. I don't want to "program code" or script code, but approach this from an end-user point of view. But if no simple alternative pops up, then this might be it.

    Update:
    I have installed something called "Powertools" and have remapped the keys I need.
