    More trouble with magnifier.


    I can only type with one hand.
    Therefore I have to use Sticky Keys.
    To turn the Magnifier off:
    I hit Shift & Win esc.
    This works fine and I have been using it for sometime.
    On my keyboard the + is an upper case =.
    So to turn on the Magnifier I must hit Shift Win & Shift & =.
    Which seldom works.
    I there a way I can hit Shift & Win & Shift & = with one keystroke?

    Hi, why not create a shortcut to magnifier (it will only allow CTRL + ALT + character for some reason) and define your own- for example CTRL ALT \

    - all those characters can be pressed with one hand

    Or select another combination that suits you.

    (Noted from your post that the 'normal' invocation of Magnifier is Win key + =, hardly convenient for you)

    Thank you very much dalchina,
    I know that ^ = Ctl;
    ! = Alt
    By the way are there any more of these?
    Where can I get a list? (This maybe an AutoHotKey question).
    My main question is how do you do Ctl + Alt + whatever?

    Simple way to try: rt click blank area of desktop, New, Shortcut.
    Find the path to magnifier and enter it
    Fill in the field for your shortcut keys.
    Assign an icon
    Try it.

    For that you don't need any combination key equivalents, Ease of access stuff. No complexity. All you need is a group of keys you can use with one hand- and check before you assign it it doesn't already have another function.

    Thank you dalchina,
    For the
    List of Keys (Keyboard, Mouse and Joystick) | AutoHotkey
    link.
    It is very helpful.

    What I would like know is:
    ^ is a shortcut for Ctl.
    ! is a shortcit for Alt.
    What is the shortcut for Shift?

    Sorry, you'll need to research details yourself or ask in the AHK forum - currently abroad for a month...
