How to change the Magnifier Shortcuts

Question

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a way to change the built-in Shortcuts of the Magnifier application that comes with every Windows 11.

I was asked to come here to seek help in this subject.

My previous post was as follows:

Hello,

I am currently using Windows 11 Pro and I am having some trouble with the Magnifier that comes with the system.

The current shortcut to Zoom In and Zoom Out is Win + and Win - respectively.

In addition I use a mouse from Logitech with programmable buttons and I made my Left Wheel Button and Right Wheel Button to be Zoom In and Zoom Out through Logitech G Hub.

Now, I occasionally play games and I sometimes use the Magnifier to see things that are too small for me (chat, map, text, etc...) and it works without much of a problem (the games may vary) however if I press Zoom In or Zoom Out while using W, A, S, D ( or other keys) the Start menu pops out and pushes me out of the game (I play on Fullscreen mode).

In conclusion, is there a way for me to bind Zoom In and Zoom Out to other keys that don't use Win and instead use CTRL/ALT/SHIFT or something similar.

Have a great day.

They mentioned a way to use Third-Party ways to change it perhaps through Scripting.

Have a nice day,

Best option is to use AutoHotkey which is a free, lightweight scripting tool that allows you to remap keys and shortcuts.
