Greetings:
Is there a way to change the Magnifier hot-keys? I need to be able to do this one-handed and I prefer NOT to use the mouse. Google has been, surprisingly, unhelpful with this. I'd prefer to do it within Windows, including Registry hacks, but if you know of a utility program that can handle it, I'll look at that as well.
Thanks.
Hi, there's this by MS- not tried it myself...

then there's Autohotkey (free) - an scripting tool which does a whole lot more than just supporting mapping keys
E.g.
^!s::#e
remaps CTRL+ALT+s to win key + e
Put that in a simple text file which you can run with Autohotkey installed - e.g. remap.ahk
From that you can create remap.exe with a couple of clicks,
Can remap mouse keys too.
Other programs have been mentioned on tenforums if you care to search.
Remap the shortcut keys using AutoHotkey. It means you'll have to have a small .AHK script running but the overhead is miniscule. For example:
Code:mag := "Magnify.exe", app := A_WinDir "\System32\" mag F11:: Run, %app% /lens ; alternative parameters: /fullscreen, /docked, /lens Return F12:: Process, Close, %mag% Return
This would remap F11 to open Magnifier and F12 to close it.
(You may have to think of alternative keys if, for example, you are using a laptop which perhaps needs an Fn key pressed in conjunction with a Function key.)
Other Magnifier shortcut keys can be similarly remapped. AutoHotkey is very flexible so it more or less depends on how many 'one-handed' Magnifier controls you want remapped, for example remapping them as combination keys with the NumPad (like Insert & + to increase zoom and Insert & - to decrease zoom or perhaps Insert & = to cycle through the different views available).
Hope this helps...
