Thread: changing kb shortcuts not in Menu-System,Prefs,KBshortcuts


i'd able change keyboard shortcuts not listed in "keyboard shortcuts" dialogue through menu-system-preferences-keyboard_shortcuts. i'd generalizable approach but, example as anything, @ moment there 2 specific changes make:

1.
change key can make mouse pointer call attention little ripple rings besides control. control key used 2 different methods of zooming - control +/- , control mouse-scroll. if enable control make microscopic pointer hides me "here am" little ripple/rings zoom methods cease work.

before says "why don't set mouse pointer large?" - i've tried - won't stay way. i've spent inordinate amount of time using ixquick/google , posting on 3 different fora figure out oneiric did mouse pointer , how can correct no result yet, , anyway, that's thread. maybe someday i'll solve mystery of incredible shrinking pointer if assigning different hot key "here am!" pointer function more doable be big help. alternative if knows of totally different "here am" function or approach making one, preferably 1 little more noticeable low key anemic ripples assign different key combo to.

2.
i'd change mousekeys , numlock button functions numlock toggles between state mousekeys work, preferably numlock light off, , state number pad functions numlock on, preferably numlock light on. in other words, if numlock on number pad has normal default numlock-on behaviour of sending forth digits when off mousekeys turns on. has ever used mousekeys on desktop full size keyboard frequent need numeric entry see how more sense makes in environment (maybe not on laptop without dedicated arrow keys, etc.) , googling around looking how gather standard mousekeys mode in windows.

------
ok, 2 examples. know autokey. maybe make work second example, particularly if there kind of environment variable says whether numlock on or off , scriptable commands turn on or off (keycode numlock button maybe?) i'm not sure , suspect if possible lot harder assigning new kb shortcuts, assuming latter possible @ all. , don't see how autokey in first example because if sending out control key signal in response other key combo both zoom , "here am" still see control key , same incompatibility exist. please correct me if reasoning wrong.

thanks, if has thoughts on of this.
