Re: [Avid-L2] OT: change a Mac OS hot key

Firstly, in Mojave it's exactly where I said it is. 

Secondly, Toggle On/Off does not do what I want.  Which is why I asked the original question.

Third, trying to disqualify my question because you do not know how to help answer that question is not helpful.  I clearly stated what I wanted to do.  I want to know if there is a way to change the hot key combo for temporary toggle zoom.  You can't answer that.  And saying what I want is something else is just inconsiderate.

Firstly, the thing you are talking about is not in the location you described.. I find it in System Preferences / Accessibility / Zoom / ADVANCED / CONTROLS. That's the only place that Temporary toggle is located. So I could not really have known what you were talking about until I found it myself, not where you described.

Secondly, it clearly tells you the keys to hold if you want this, and my suggestion to change the Toggle On/Off is the only type you can change. It does the exact same thing as the Temporary toggle, you just have to hit it twice. So if you program it somewhere you like, you can easily accomplish what you really want to do. Otherwise, you're stuck with the keys they give you for the momentary switch.

I am not looking for Toggle Zoom On/Off.  I'm looking for temporally toggle zoom.  If you were to actually go to SysPerf / Accessibility / Zoom you would see Toggle Zoom On/Off listed.  Then if you were to continue to SysPerf / Accessibility / Zoom / Options you will then see the option I'm talking about - temporarily toggle zoom.  Just like I mentioned in my OP.

For me, on a Mac with 10.15 OS,  "Toggle Zoom" is the first thing listed in the Accessibility > Zoom preference = "Turn zoom on or off" command in Keyboard / Shortcuts / Accessibility / Zoom. That's probably what you are looking for?

Yeah, I already had looked there.  When I go to SysPerf / Keyboard / Shortcuts / Accessibility I do not see a shortcut for the option I mentioned.  That shortcut being temporarily toggle zoom.  I guess I should have mentioned before that it was nearly that obvious and that I already knew it wasn't there.

I program good key combos I'd never hit on my own, then I assign those to the (Logitech M510) mouse buttons I'd never hit for anything else. Works wonders.

If you go to your SysPrefs / Accessibility / Zoom / Options in there you will see a tick box for Cntl+Opt to do a temporary zoom in on the screen.  Which is great in this time of working all on my laptop and doing Remote Desktop to the office.  But, since that hot key includes Control if I try and click on something while holding Ctl+Opt it brings up the right click menu.  And I can't figure out where I could possibly change that hot key combo.  Does anyone know where to possibly change it?

Thanks,
