Recently, I purchased a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (despite the redundant title its actually a pretty good board), unfortunatly it has a zoom key in the middle of the keyboard. I don't know a reason why anyone would want to use it, but I decided I would remap it to a scroll key. It is a toggle key, so you press up and it is supposed to zoom in, press down and it should zoom out, when it is not in use it snaps back to a middle position. Anyway, I almost have it working, although it appears that the keyboard might send it too fast for my script. I found out that the keyboard just sends a ctrl-wheelup and ctrl-wheeldown. However, when I remaped the key it both scrolls and sometimes zooms at this point. This is what I have so far:

^WheelDown::send, {WheelDown}
^WheelUp::send, {WheelUp}

I was hoping you might be able to help me.

Thanks!

You may catch up the strokes of the quick keyboard with SetKeyDelay. You have to try out the timing values a little bit.
Hope it helps. Post your time-settings here when you succeeded. Ask if you have further questions.

You might have to disable the "zoom" feature in your keyboard configuration utility (if available). If there's no way to disable it, the only alternative might be to remove the keyboard's custom software altogether (assuming you can live without its other special features).

Sorry to push this thread to the top of the stack but I had been searching for a while in Google and this is one of the first matches for Microsoft Natural 4000 hacking.

I wish this page came up instead:
