    But before you try it, read to the end ... Accidentally used WINKEY + NUM+ and discovered it zooms in on the active object on your screen - the browser, say, or VS. And WINKEY + NUM- moves teh zoomed bit around. But ... it doesn't work at all usefully on multiple monitors since it counts it as one huge screen with gaps in ... :laugh: So you're going to need this bit: WINKEY + ESC to exit. If you read this far, that is ... :laugh:

          I've always wondered why they put the WINKEY next to the CTRL and ALT keys. Why not just place it up with the function keys. I always end up hitting the WINKEY by accident when playing games causing the game to minimize screwing up the frame rate of the game when I bring the game back into focus. :mad:

            One of my gaming keyboards, a Logi g510s, has this nice winkey enable/disable slider. It didn't take long to find out how useful it is, but I do miss out on inadvertently discovering new winkey hotkeys. ;)

                I tried it on one of my Win7 machines and it just brings up a zoom tool window. WINKEY + NUM- shrinks it, WINKY + ESC closes it. Quite handy that way - why did they change it for WIN10? Odd!

                - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                    As far as I can tell, it's just a shortcut to launching the magnifier utility that's existed since...well, I'm too lazy to look it up...I never use it.

                      Because WinKey is used as a modifier, just like Shift, Ctrl, and Alt. Historically those keys have been located near the bottom left and bottom right corners of the keyboard.
