Redefining Keys for a Laptop

Im now plaing HoI2 on my laptop.

Odd little quirk is that the laptop doesnt have a normal - and + key, making map zooms and speed adjustments

Under game options there are controls for the music and sound.

Is there anyway, including manual editing, I can reassign key commands?

KeyMapper.

Before running the keymapper application is there someplace that describes what it does?

Will keymapper affect all keystrokes? Im doing alt-tab between the game and other apps at times (like Word for writing an AAR).

Is there a way to do this within HOI2?

KeyMapper.

Tried and doesnt work. Likely not compatible with Vista. Generates an error message when trying to set a key

HotKeySet(StringLower($KeyToMap),"Send"&$MapToKey)

could also be that the laptop '+' key is actually shift-= (shift and equal)

Which means im tyring set = to shift-= and the "stringlower" may not be compatible with that.

Its becasue the + key is shift-= that I cant use cntrl-+ because that would be ctrl-shift-=

If there someplace in HoI2 the keys are defined I can edit?

Any other options?

Keymapper isnt compatible with the laptop keyboard either.

Use your mouse to adjust the map zooms and game speeds instead of your keyboard.

Yup, just used to desktop keyboard tapping for speed up and down. Workable, just awkward.

Ive also increased the number of events that pause the game.
