Disable mousewheel zoom

trogluddite · 29 Sept 2011

+1. Drives me mad too - especially, like you say, as there are so many useful things the wheel could be used for.

Ideally, I'd like to see it context sensitive - i.e. Over text/code - scrolls text; Over empty workspace - scroll workspace (modifier key to scroll L-R); over a mouse area - directed to 'mouse wheel' prim with accumulator and up/down/click trigger outputs. (and then maybe zooming if it is over the zoom slider, or maybe a modifier key when over empty workspace)

That mouswheel request is one of the oldest topics here. I guess a simple +1 won't change anything on the ignorance concerning that issue. So don't waste any time on waiting on any significant changes with SM. I've no clue why there's no reaction from malc (or any other "official") to all these writings here. There're some essential requests floating around for years which lack attention. That's a sad situation which leaves me (and i guess many more) absolutly frustrated and unsatisfied. Sorry - but the more i read in the requests and ideas forum the more i come into a bad mood! 😝

Pray for the best... Hope for the rest... or the opposite...

Indeed, the odds are stacked against us. But the odds can only get lower if we decide never to speak of the things that bother us - and there's never any harm in consoling a fellow SM'er by letting then know that they do not suffer alone. 😇

And sometimes it's just nice to have a bitch to get it out of your system. 😈

Or just be able to configure zoom to mouse wheel, wheel + [CTRL], etc. Are there 3rd party utils that allow disabling/diverting the mouse wheel?

I use "Mouse Wheel control" for disabeling in SM http://www.ardamax.com/

Nice find infuzion!

Guess it doesn't really help to make 'mouse wheel' controls for end-users (they would need the app. too), but looks a nice way to customise our editing workspace. Better still (for little old me), I think you may have solved one of my major frustrations at work - 5 different drawing/CAD app's that all have utterly different mouse behaviour! I got my KB shortcuts customised to something like a standard way of working, but my colleagues are a little tired of hearing the foul language directed at my PC when I go to rotate a CAD design, and end up zooming so far out that I can't see it any more!
