Good idea! You can even assign two mouse buttons. Here is how, it works in OSX with a Logitech optical mouse (three buttons and a wheel with switch): --- Universal Access panel: Set max zoom to about 1. Set min zoom to minimum. Zoom options: check "Only when the pointer reaches an edge". Leave the zoom always on! Keyboard panel (recommended): Set the zoom-out and zoom-in command to something else than default (my Logitec panel crashes when I try to assign the apostrophe key...) I have it to "+" and "-" now. Logitec control center: Assign for example the thumbswitch to [cmd][alt]+ and the wheel switch to [cmd][alt]- --- Now I open an EXS, place the mouse at the title bar and press the thumb button: zooOOM. Then I hit the wheel switch: ZOoom. Very comfortable! Pressing the thumb button repeatedly you go more and more in but that makes not much sense. Better adjust the min/max zoom options to your needs. If you have two monitors the position of the pointer before zooming is crucial - universal access can't handle two displays, at least not if they are in a vertical order like mine (big one and a Powerbook below). BTW - I tried with AppleScript, wanted to activate and use the zoom at once. Could not manage it - maybe a task for QuickKeys. Peter Ostry
