Disable “Ctrl”+mouse wheel zooming in Chrome?

Solution 1:

There is a solution using AutoHotKey posted on google groups:

Using Logitech Performance Mouse MX...

Downloaded AutoHotKey software

In the AutoHotkey.ahk file, added these to do nothing for Cntrl+MouseWheelScrolling

^WheelDown::return

^WheelUp::return

Solution 2:

Solution

This was driving me insane as well, but I just found a chrome extension that works: No Mouse Wheel Zoom

Use

After installing the plugin you need to:

  • Go to extension settings. Make sure that "allow access to file url's" is checked
  • Refresh Your tabs

Works

From the user reviews, it works on Linux, Mac, and Windows; for both mice and touch pads.

Solution 3:

I don't know of any way to disable scrolling, but you could use Ctrl+0 to return to 100% at any time--no need to refresh the page.

Solution 4:

It doesn't look like its possible within chrome at this point, but you could do it from the mouse side. Depending on the drivers for your mouse, you could set ctrl-scroll as a "shortcut" to actually do nothing - essentially capturing the combination and throwing it away. Some drivers will even let you specify this for only within a certain application, at which point you'd specify chrome.

Would need more info of OS and mouse to tell this for sure.

Solution 5:

In Firefox the zoom function can be disabled via its corresponding setting in about:config.

For Chrome: I have found a free little application called AlwaysMouseWheel which does the trick. It is made for another purpose (which I find useful too) but does prevent the zooming in Chrome.

For IE: However, that application doesn't disable the zooming. So I am looking around for a solution for that now.
