my work involves a lot of excel work and similar data being copy and pasted
from one sheet to another...  my old keyboard had programmable keys and I use
a left handed mouse.  I programmed two unused keys on the right side with
<ctrl> c and <ctrl> v.  I'd highlight the date with the mouse in my left
hand... hit the reprogrammed copy key...switch sheets and hit the paste key...
slick, fast and easy..

new keyboard is a microsoft wireless and while it does have a 'program'
function..., it will only move keys around and not let you actually input keys
to program to that key.  None of the programs I've found on line allow  the
user to type in control functions and map it to a key...

anyone have any suggestions ???   years ago I had a Gateway computer with a
keyboard utility that actually recorded keystrokes to a key similar to a macro
I guess...

I'm not a macro writer and don't want to be... I just want to put <ctrl> c and
<ctrl> v on some keys and get on with my life...  it's cumbersome for a left
handed person to enter those combos with their right hand...

help ???
