Is it possible to disable zooming when holding ctrl and spinning the mouse wheel in browsers on windows or on the entire system as a whole?

Question

Keyboard

I constantly get on unnecessary zoom in / zoom out of the page in the browser when holding ctrl and scrolling on the trackpad. Is there a way to disable this?

Answer 1

1. It is possible through AHK , for more details follow the link

script

#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 500
^WheelDown::return
^WheelUp::return

Works throughout the system. They say it really helps. Haven't tried it myself.
However, I met complaints that it does not work with touchpads.
2. There is a plugin for Chrome

There are really complaints about it too.
3. In FF, they say there is a setting for this in about:config.
Zoom is working:
Zoom is disabled:
mousewheel.with_control.action;0

Answer 2

Even in the settings of the touchpad driver, there may be something like "smooth scrolling", which may not work quite correctly and, after real scrolling, emulate a smooth speed fade (which can cause false positives of hotkeys based on mouse wheel events). In that case, turn it off to hell.
