Microsoft Keyboard Software (M$ Ergo extended keys)
Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2009 9:06 am
I didn't find any discussion of this anywhere on the forum, so...
I have a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 v.1 on WindowsXPProSP2. I have played with using the RWin key to activate motion, and the low Back/Forward keys as click buttons. But I haven't found a key combo that I am really comfortable with.
There are certain keys on the M$ keyboard that are implemented with Microsoft Intellitype Pro Keyboard Software ("Web/Home","Search","My Favorites" 1-5). I am able to map a couple of these non-standard keys to SmartNAV functions (although the M$ software function launches also), but for others, such as the Favorites key, I get "Key 0 is already assigned to Unknown Hot Key."
It is possible to assign the favorites buttons to any local path or URL, but I haven't done that.
Any thoughts or experience about this? I appreciate that this is not a trivial question and there may not be a workaround.
Best regards,
Tommo
