Re: [orca-list] Question about Magnifier Zoomer settings

["Mike Wigle" <Mike Wigle cincyblind org>]

Hmm... Yeah, I guess deep down I was hoping for something more like what is available on Windows. I didn't 
fully understand how the magnification was being done in Gnome. Oh well, I can wait. Sadly I don't have the 
coding ability to help with it so I'll just be glad for what there is. Thanks.

I think it is POSSIBLE to do that with the settings.  However, from what
I can tell, if  you use gnome-mag as the full screen magnifier, then you
can't really work within the magnifier since the magnifier is a separate
window from your workspace and your mouse/keyboard functions occur
outside the magnifier.

I've been able to achieve full screen magnification with the vmg app I
mentioned in an earlier thread.  But the drawback on that app is that it
won't allow for typing/clicking at all.

I've been thinking of trying another attempt when I finish upgrading my
hardware on another computer in which I would connect two monitors and
use the second monitor as a magnifier.  That's kind of an ugly
situation, but in theory it should work.
