thanks Shannah,,,
strangest thing... I played with the Microsoft keyboard mapper under control
panel for over an hour this a.m. and couldn't make the changes stick... it
would show as reprogrammed, but when I went to excel... no new
reprogramming.... this time it worked, must be the super moon.
so now the "lower volume" key is <ctrl> c and 'raise volume' is <ctrl> v
so now the "lower volume" key is <ctrl> c and 'raise volume' is <ctrl> v
so now the "lower volume" key is <ctrl> c and 'raise volume' is <ctrl> v
so now the "lower volume" key is <ctrl> c and 'raise volume' is <ctrl> v
see ??? thanks for your magical control of my keyboard... it's gonna make
my life ssooo much easier now

A keyboard with a Synaptics touchpad in it will allow you to use
programmable
touch zones for that sort of thing.
Alternately, this article from Microsoft support seems to apply:

although I wouldn't be surprised if this only works with Microsoft
branded keyboards.

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 ???
