Turning off magnifier

[fenzda]

I have 8.2 and the magnifier just came on. I probably hit a wrong key. It won't go away. Is there a way to turn this off?

Thanks!

Hi Fendza,

Just go to "MENU" and:
1- Choose one the two proposed "Monior System".
2- Choose he tab "Process"
3- Find YOUR process and " KILL IT".

Good luck

Open Compiz Settings Manager from Menu/Settings. Look for the Magnifier and open its settings by clicking on it. You will see the hotkey for start (and also for stop!): it is Super-M. So, you can kill Magnifier with this hotkey.
But if you untick the Magnifier, it will be disabled and never starts.
Otherwise, the Magnifier app is buggy: it starts unwanted triggered by other Compiz hotkeys.
At finishing moving a window starts magnifier; window decoration blinks (https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1857344)
These are some of the reasons why I do not like Compiz.
Openbox-LXDE is wonderful, in my opinion it would be much more appropriate for Knoppix.

Sorry - I haven't been on for a while. Thanks so much. I have printed this. I think I hit a hot key accidentally!
