Hi everyone,
I do all of my computing on my HTPC, which is a laptop connected to a 46 inch HDTV.
For years now I have been using a microsoft bluetooth keyboard, which has a 'magnifier' key, this enlarges a portion of the screen that follows the cursor, without this it is almost impossible to use the system since I am sitting 10+ feet away and regular font is impossible to read...
Yesterday I bought this really cool RF keyboard (http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_578_580&item_id=043844)
This new keyboard does not have a magnifier key (I thought it did but it's a shortcut key to 'search' akin to pressing F3), and the shortcut key on my old MS keyboard links to the Intellitype Pro application, which cannot be remapped...
MY QUESTION:
Can anybody recommend a way to address this issue? I found a few magnifier utilities that can be linked to a keyboard shortcut but most perform really poorly, if anyone has any experience with this type of issue I would appreciate any advice or insight, thank you!
