When Command
Mode is active, you can quickly modify some of the Magnifying Glass options
(e.g., Glass size, transparency, effects) without the need to open the Options
dialog.
Command Mode Enabled. When this
check box is selected, Command Mode is active. A set of buttons and options
will be accessible directly from the magnified area. You can enable or disable
Command Mode using the Magnifying Glass tray icon
as well (select/deselect Show Command
Mode in the pop-up menu). It can also be enabled/disabled using a keyboard
shortcut, Ctrl+Alt+mouse move.
Cool Graphic Effect. When this setting
is selected, Command Mode is animated. This feature uses additional system
resources. If you will test twitching a glass in Command Mode, you should
disable this setting.
HotKey for a Command Mode. You can set
up your own keyboard shortcut to enable/disable Command Mode. Click in the HotKey
field then type any combination of keys up to three (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+Alt). To
include mouse movement as part of that combination, select the Mouse Move check
box. For example, if the HotKey is Ctrl+Alt+Mouse Move, the Glass will appear
when you press the Control and Alt key in sequence followed by moving the mouse
cursor.
Be careful not to use a keyboard
shortcut that is in use by Windows or another active application. For example,
Ctrl+Alt+Delete, which brings up the Windows Task Manager.
