I have these two hotkeys, but there are issues with them
This first one above works, i.e. it runs Microsoft Screen Magnifier thus zooms in my screen, but because I press RMB I often end up also with various context menu being opened. How do I tell HotkeyP that for something like a second after executing the Magnify.exe file it should force Windows to ignore the RMB [and LMB] being pressed?
This second below used to work but after trying out different settings within it and then reverting to them they somehow stopped working correctly - i.e. I get z pop up window saying "Cannot open service Magnify.exe"
I think it's a normal behavior / known issue (possibly OS issue).
What about change the shortcut to Mouse 5&R ?
I'm using the shortcut Mouse 5&L for quick zoom, internal program zoom, it's not live, but it's instant. Mouse 5&R should work too.
I'm using the side buttons 4 and 5 as "shift" button, these shortcuts are very useful, e.g. Mouse 5&Down / UP / M to volume - / + / mute. Similar shortcuts for play/pause, copy/paste, seek, switch tabs...
Zoom command I'm using:
Hot Key: Mouse 5&L
Command: Magnifier
Parameters: 2 1600 400
EDIT: OK, some of my shortcuts use right button + other button and it works good, so try these options - in the Mouse/Remote tab:
Delay mouse buttons: 500ms
Do not delay these buttons:[v]L | [ ]M | [ ]R | [v]4 | [v]5
Do not delay fullecreen applications except these: [potplayermini64.exe;potplayermini.exe;vlc.exe;mpc.exe;chrome.exe;firefox.exe;opera.exe]
General tab:
Use keyboard hook
(o) for all hotkeys
[ ] Reload the hooks every [500]ms (disable this option!)

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
For activating zoom a simple change from Mouse R&5 to Mouse 5&R seems to be the solution. And most likely so would for deactivating zooming changing from Mouse R&4 to Mouse 4&R - but I still get the "Cannot open service Magnify.exe" error
As for your suggestions / modus operandi: I do not have it all planned out but it is imperative for me to have easy to use (i.e. quickly doable and comfortable to click thus avoiding errors) aforementioned zooming in / out plus coping, pasting in and cutting out - it is just ridiculous amounts of times per day when I use only mouse thus need to pick form various right click menus entries that are equivalents of CTRL + C and CRTL + V and CTRL + X
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Command "Stop service" is used only by administrators to stop system services. It cannot be used to exit normal EXE applications.
To close the magnifier, create this hotkey:
Command: Close window
Parameters: MagUIClass

What is wrong with them?

The second screenshot is same as the first screenshot.
I have just replaced it with a proper one, as well as the attachment file

It seems that I have managed to strike an optimal solution with these attached settings
My zooming in and out now does not interfere with navigating be it in file manager of web browser, which previously have been a caveat
Thank you all for help
