F-Access

Personalised function keys for better accessibility, specifically for using WordPad

Features

1. A docked screen magnifier
   • Includes a frame around the mouse showing what will be magnified
   • Collision detection between the frame and the magnified window
   • Win + f toggles the ability to resize the magnifier
   • drMagSettings.ini (created by drMagnifier) contains saved magnifier settings
2. An input reader (reads each word typed out loud)
3. Remapped function keys (HotKeys)

Instructions

• If you haven't downloaded AutoHotKey then you can still run F-Access using the executable scripts inside releases

• Keep all the .ahk scripts together in the same folder (same for the .exe compiled scripts)
• Run drHotKeys to start F-Access
• Run drClose to close F-Access or alternatively exit drHotKeys from the taskbar

If you want the scripts to run upon startup then:

• Open the startup folder using Win + r and enter shell:StartUp
• Create a shortcut inside this folder to the location of drHotKeys

Other

When F5 is pressed for printing it checks if the default printer is offline - if this is the case then the print is prevented. This doesn't work for all types of printers, therefore Alt + F5 can be used to disable the offline printer check.
